Hezekiah's tunnel

The brave crew that ventured into Hezekiah's

tunnel. The tunnel was about 5 feet tall and the water was above the knees. They sloshed

thru the tunnel for 40 minutes until they

emerged and saw the light.

Model of Jerusalem

We stopped at the Holyland Hotel
and checked out what Jerusalem
looked like in the days of Jesus. The
model was on a 1/50 scale that brought
the whole week together as we saw
many of the places we visited.

Birth Place of John the Baptist

Holocaust Museum

We were deeply moved at the Holocaust Museum.
This is a tree planted by Oscar Schlinder in
the Garden of the Righteous.

Floating on the Dead Sea

The crew floating on the Dead Sea. This was

incredible. It is impossible to sink so the

only option is to float.

Dead Sea Scrolls

Four where somem of the Dead

Sea Scrolls were found.

Masada

On top of Masada at an altitude
of zero because the Dead Sea is
below sea level.
We took a cable car to
the top. The view went all
the way up the Jordan River
Valley.

sunset

We had an amazing sunset
last night over Jerusalem. Wow!

Garden Tomb

The Garden Tomb ended a powerful day

in Jerusalem where we received communion.

This may be Jesus burial site.

We took cable cars up the Mount of Temptations

in Jericho. We could see the Jordan River

off in the distance. It was amazing.

Upper Room

We visited the upper room where Jesus shared
the last supper, and where the Holy Spirit came
at Pentecost.
