Here we are at the Garden Tomb in Jerusalem

 


We went for a swim in the Dead Sea--very floaty! (and cold)


What?!  Wish we would have seen these pictures before we fell in!

 
The famous Dead Sea mud bath


The Dome of the Rock and wall of Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives


The Damascus Gate of the Old City


At the Garden of Gethsemane


Overlooking the old city part of Jerusalem

 
The Kidron Valley (L) and Wailing Wall (R)


We saw these camels on our drive north to Galilee

 
At Kursi, the site of where the possessed swine ran into the sea.  On the right, inside a cistern in the ruins near the cliffs


On the Mount of Beatitudes overlooking the Sea of Galilee

 
The synagogue in Capernaum


The Sea of Galilee.  Jeff tried walking on the water, but only got wet shoes for two days

 
The Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem and the fields outside the city, once and still home to the shepherds.


Inside the Church of the Nativity, the guide assured us this was not the original manger--thanks!
