Israel Second Day
Today was pretty busy, had our breakfast and in the bus by 8:15 am this morning. So first a couple more shots from the hotel in Tiberius:
First site was driving through Cana, Nazareth which as you can see from some of the pictures once we go to the Arab side things get a lot dirtier, as they population doesn’t have a strong belief in cleanliness. Inside their homes they are clean, however they don’t have a problem with just dumping their trash outside.
Second site was the mountain where they took Jesus up to throw him off which overlooked the Jezreel Valley, Megiddo (biblical Armageddon)
Following that was Mt. Carmel where Elijah called down fire from the sky, which also overlooks the Jezreel Valley, Megiddo (biblical Armageddon):
My wife who is a fleet manager for an insurance company with a fleet of Camrys, couldn’t resist taking this shot:
Next was a location where we were able to again look at the Jezreel Valley, Megiddo (biblical Armageddon) going through some ruins on the way up:
Following that was lunch where I had a sandwich, not unlike a gyro, however it wasn’t nearly as good.
Next Site was Bet She’ham which are the largest and best quality archeological Roman Empire find in Israel:
Last stop of the day was what they called the Jesus boat find. Basically it was a boat that was found that dates back to the time of Jesus and would be very similar to what they would have used then:
And if that wasn’t enough, after dinner we went to an Israel National Diamond Center – one of the three diamond cutting centers in Israel is in Tiberius only a couple blocks from where we’re staying at the hotel.
Think that was enough for today, tomorrow on to Jerusalem!
