One year since Israel

In honour of the my one year anniversary of arriving in Israel, I thought I'd post some photos from my trip. My 10-day working vacation was amazing -- seeing the Bible come to life in Jerusalem, Galilee, Caesarea, Nazareth, the Dead Sea and the Judean hills was a memorable experience to say the least. And I can't say enough about the food -- fresh goat cheese, olive oil, oregano, hummus and pita, figs, dates, apricots and wine were all available in abundance. What more can I say? I'll let the photos do the talking.

The first photo (from the bottom) is the gorgeous Mediterranean Sea in Caesarea, where Paul was imprisoned.

The second is taken while sailing on the Sea of Galilee (known to locals as Lake Kineret). The water was so peaceful and still, it was hard to imagine the violent storm that Jesus calmed for his apostles.

The third is the Dead Sea, viewed from my hotel room balcony. It was a great view! And the sea was so much fun to float in (which is really all you do - it's too difficult to swim, unless you stay on your back). The fourth photo is also the Dead Sea at sun rise the next morning. It was beautiful.

Until next time.
A.
