Friday, Feb. 18th. Our last day on Tour
Our last day of touring. I'm thinking that these final pictures are much more complete than the uploads from the first days simply because I had more time at home to review before uploading. Click here for Friday's pictures.
Thursday, Feb. 17th: Masada and the Dead Sea
Pictures from Thursday's trip include our tour of Masada, the Dead Sea, and the area where the Dead Sea scrolls were found. There are some pretty good pictures of some of the tour group riding a camel as well! Check it out here:
Wednesday's Tour Pictures
Wednesday was a beautiful day. We visited the Temple Mount and learned much more about the history of that "holy" area, the axis-mundi for 3 Religions. The Muslims are in control now with the Dome of the Rock. We moved over the Kidron Valley to the Mount of Olives and marched down the path that Jesus took on His triumphal entry, stopping at the Church of the Nations, the site of the Garden of Gethsemane. This is one of the most beautiful churches and spots in Jerusalem. Click here to see pictures.
Walking the Stations of the Cross: Jesus Passion
Today, Tuesday, Feb. 15th was was quite an emotional tour day as we completed all the Stations of The Cross of Christ's Passion, in Jerusalem where it all actually happened. Click here for pictures of this and other places we visited.
Sunday Touring

Pictures from the touring on Saturday, Feb. 11th
Here are pictures from our tour on Saturday. We have very busy days and very slow internet connections in the hotels so the postings are brief. However, we have lots of pictures! We'll be sharing more when we get home. For now check out the Saturday Picasa pictures at my Picasa Picture Album
