Day 10 - Jordan: Jerash
posted on Friday March 24 2023 at 12:00 am UTC
It's a LOT to take in! Coming into this trip we were told that Jerash was big. You can hear that all you want, you can see pictures, you can do a Google earth flyover and locate things but nothing can really prepare you for how big this ancient Roman city really is! A good principle used by scholars...
Day 09 - Jordan: Petra

Petra. Not the band. Not the restaurant off of 380 near Custer. Nope, the real one. The first one. The most awe-inspiring one. If you told me I could only use one word to describe Petra I would rebel and use as many I needed to, but if I had to choose one to succinctly describe what I experienced...
Day 08 - Jordan: Allenby Bridge Border Crossing , Baptismal Site, Mount Nebo, Dead Sea
posted on Tuesday March 21 2023 at 8:00 pm UTC
We picked up a new traveler today. He was standing there on the sidewalk as we passed by after crossing into Jordan and it looked like he might be a great addition to our group so we opened the door and let in Pastor Wayne. Okay, that was always the plan! Pastor Wayne has joined us in Jordan to teach...
Day 07 - Jerusalem: City of David, Hezekiah's Tunnel, Caiaphas' House

7, the number of perfection… and day 7 came close! Our first stop was THE CITY OF DAVID built on the ruin of the Jebusite civilization - 3,800 years ago - the Canaanites that King David defeated to gain possession of l Mount Moriah for Jerusalem. A column capitol was found with circular shapes,...
Day 06 - Jerusalem : Temple Mount, Western Wall, Rabbinic Tunnels, Davidson Center, Southern Steps
posted on Sunday March 19 2023 at 8:00 pm UTC
You will find a blend of cultures unlike anywhere else in the world on top of the Temple Mount. Our guide, Dan, was incredibly helpful in explaining the complex relationships that are at play in this small area. Suffice it to say tension is always there, but there is also peace. There are two places...
Day 05 - Jerusalem : Mount of Olives, Gethsemane, Saint Anne's, Pool of Bethesda, Via Dolorosa, Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Bethlehem, Church of the Nativity, Johnny's (shopping)
posted on Saturday March 18 2023 at 9:00 pm UTC
"Wow!" "Oh my!" "Hello!" I am sure there are other phrases people spoke as they came up the steps and peered over the wall at the old city of Jerusalem for the first time. It's impossible to put the scene into words when you see it for the first time, but we're getting accustomed to saying...
Day 04 - Negev: Beth Shean, Ein Gedi, Qumran
posted on Friday March 17 2023 at 9:00 pm UTC
Dead Sea Day! We descended from the Hights of Golan to the lowest (breathable) spot on our great planet earth today, but before we did, we stopped at a little place called Beth Shean. But do not be deceived, it's some mere kiddy park that we could have easily skipped and not really missed. Au contraire,...
Day 03 - Galilee: Katzrin (cultural experience), Gamla, Caesarea Philippi, Tel Dan

Day 02 - Galilee: Mount Arbel, Magdala, Mount of Beatitudes, Tabgha, Chorazin, Capernaum, Galilee Boat Ride
posted on Wednesday March 15 2023 at 8:00 pm UTC
Today we had a very busy day around the Sea of Galilee! 7 stops! And the weather was all over the place. First rainy and chilly, then warm sun, sprinkles, wind, back to warm beautiful sun and then downright chilly. First stop: Mt Arbel - beautiful hike up this mountain to overlook the Sea of...

Day 00 Great travel day. All was smooth. Until… we got to the airport only to find our luggage was to arrive 2 hours later. Everyone handled like a champ and gave us an opportunity to meet each other and have some nice conversations. Day 1 Today we toured to beautiful Caesarea Maratima! Beautiful...
