Aged But Healthy

On May 2006, we joined to travel to Jerusalem via Egypt and returned home via Jordan. Our group consisted of 22 people included one Guide and 2 Priests. Of 22 participants there were 7 people had been aged of 61 to 82 years old. The other participants are about 45 to 58. The oldest of our group was a lady of 82 ( Aug. 08, 1924 ) years old named Lie A Kim Mowe Nio.. During her life , she often fell sick but she could overcome her sickness.

One of the tour program was climbing the Mount Sinai which has rocky pathway and only could pass with camel riding for two third of the way and the one third we had to walk. The climbing should start in the 02.00 at night and reach the mount peak in the morning and avoided sun stroke. Only 2 people of 22 people reached the peak and they were 57 and 58 years old people.

Even though the tour mostly done with walk all the way, Lie A Kim still able to participate the tour fully so did other old people that joined the ten days tour to Jerusalem. All tour members returned to Indonesia safe and sound.
