caesarea, megiddo, armageddon, and much more



Today we hit the ground running around 7 o'clock am.  On the agenda today was Caesarea by the sea (where Paul stood trial before Felix), Megiddo (a city overlooking Armageddon that has been rebuilt 25 times), Armageddon (that's right, we stood where the final battle is going to take place), Mt. Carmel (where Elijah battled the priests of Baal), and Nazareth.  

Our tour guide, Makhoul, is very knowledgable and offers a lot of information--he's a good one!  

Tonight we have moved from staying in Natanya (right on the Mediterranean Sea) to staying in Tiberias on the Sea of Galilee.  

We are all doing well and everyone sends their love back home--and of course, we're all having a great time!

  6. Feel like I've just read a modern day bible as told by Rae Francis. The pictures are great! This almost leaves me breathless, getting to see with your very own eyes the things that until now you have only read about...
