Israel - Masada, Galilee
En route to the Dead Sea
Rest stop with fresh squeezed juice
Starting the Snake Trail
Up and Up
The Roman siege city
Masada, hot hot hot
Lovebirds at Masada
The canyon behind Masada
Pillars of Masada
The siege ramp used by the Romans
Loved the lighting and texture
The snake trail on the way down
Almost all the way down from Masada
The Dead Sea!
Floating in the tangy salty Dead Sea
Lots of salt and other nice minerals, it tasted really bad and seriously hurts to get in your eyes
Floating with ease
Go in Peace
Sunset on the drive to Galilee
Sunrise over the Sea of Galileee
At the Church of the Beatitudes
Church of the Beatitudes
Garden outside Beatitudes
Again
And again
Inside
This group of American tourists broke into beautiful song, just perfect
Dipping my feet in Galilee
Capernum
Ruin at Capernum
Loved the old writing
Rumor has it that the black volcanic rock is the base of the actual synagogue where Jesus would have taught in Capernum
A great lunch by Galilee
Jewish Beer
At Galilee
The Peter Fish
The Peter Fish again
Galilee
From on top of Mt. Tabor
Amir and Bruyah
Inside the water cistern
Water Cavern at Tzippori
Theater at Tzippori
The Mona Lisa of Israel, made of mosaics
The mosaics were just outta control
Loved the overgrown ruins
Flock of huge birds
A new take on the Madonna and Child
Inside a Church in Nazareth
The garden at Kibbutz En Dor
Shabbat dinner at En Dor
The Garden in En Dor
Amir and Mom riding around En Dor
Israel!
