Sea for yourself!

Our time at Jerusalem University College has come to a close.  We spent the last 4 days in the Galilee region looking at some Old Testament and several New Testament sites.  Since pictures say a thousand words I'll let you take a look at some of my adventures from the past week...

 Nimrod's castle on top of a mountain peak
(ideal location for a game of hide and seek)

Basalt ruins of Korazin - An ancient Galilean city

  

Mount of Beatitudes - 

Where Jesus gave the Sermon on the Mount

(Matthew 5-7)

Typical scene, studying maps and history

 

What I do when I'm not studying

 We just finished our final exam with JUC which means it is Spring Break baby!  Janelle, Ruthie, Becca and I will be renting a car and heading back up to the sea.  We'll be staying in a cabin near Arbel and hitting up the hiking trails nearby.  About mid week we'll go to Eilat which is all the way at the southern tip of Israel along the Red Sea.  We're hoping to snorkel; it's boasted 3rd best in the world!

It's hard to believe I'm already halfway through our program.  Thanks for jumping into this journey with me.  And thanks for all the support and  encouragement you've given me.  Y'alls emails and notes keep me going!

Shabbat Shalom!
