Day 1 - enjoying a proper kitchen and the goodies from the market. Notice the cheese!!! |
The doors of the Church of the Annunciation in Nazareth. The pictures follow stories from Christs life. |
In Galilee - the supposed site of the Sermon on the Mount. |
This is all that is left of Capernaum. I was reading in Luke not long after visiting here. Luke 10:13-16. Seeing the actual place opened that passage up. |
At the Sea of Galilee |
The Jordan River |
It is a bit blurry, but these are almond trees. We saw them everywhere when we were driving through Galilee. |
Date palms - again, we saw them everywhere when we were driving through the desert areas close to the Dead Sea. |
There are a couple of shadows in the forward cliff face to the left of the photo - these are the caves the Dead Sea Scrolls were found in. |
Masada. A really interesting place to visit. Read up about it. It was built by Herod the Great. He was really crazy. |
