Hiking, Holy Week, and Holidays in Israel with Kyle Desrosiers (Podcast)

He's back!

In the latest episode (Episode 15) of my podcast, Attempt Adventure, my brother Kyle joins me to talk about his further adventures in Israel. Kyle shares his experiences of a disastrous trek and camping trip along the famous Jesus Trail at the Sea of Galilee, his experiences celebrating a Seder at Passover along with other Jewish and Israeli holidays and memorial days, and his Holy Week experience, when he celebrated with some French nuns at a Medieval Benedictine monastery in Israel.

Kyle was on my podcast several weeks back, and my cohost and I have decided to make him a semi-regular correspondent on the show. We've even bought him his own microphone and everything! You can listen to his previous episode on the show HERE:




Here are some of Kyle's pictures of the experiences that we talked about on the show. Thanks, my bro, as always for coming on to talk with me!

Lost and exhausted, the trek seemed like it might not have been the best idea.

Finally arriving at the Sea of Galilee, Kyle celebrated with a pot of Turkish coffee.
