Day 5 Israel

Starting our day with another Sea of Galilee Sunrise

Jill, Cindy, Maggie (who made all the great signs) and Angie outside our hotel just after sunrise.

Mt. Tabor and The Church of The Transfiguration

Father Pat saying Mass at one of the outdoor chapels

Steve and Patricia and the cat who came to mass

Valley that is believed to be where The Battle of Armagettan will be fought.

 

 

A rare group photo

Jericho

Steve and Patricia got to ride a camel

Temptation Mountain, where Jesus wandered

Jordon River (where there are land mines possibly?)

But that did not stop us from wading in the same water Jesus was baptized in (though I’m sure it was not as murky back then)

Angie, Jill, Loretta, Michelle, Nora, Corinne, Patricia in the Jordan River

Dead Sea (I was surprised how blue it was)

Marshall photo bombing Angie & Jill

We had fun playing in the mud (it made your skin feel very soft)

Marshall, Brian, Patricia,Frank, Father Pat, Joyce, Loretta, Maggie & Terry getting ready to frolic and float in The Dead Sea

 

Angie happily playing in the mud

After floating and playing in the mud we checked out the Lowest Bar in The World

Cindy, Nora, Celeste and Bob Baron at the Lowest Bar on Earth

As we were leaving we passed this poor fellow who I guess could be a reminder of what could happen to you if you spend too much time in The Dead Sea (or maybe at The Lowest Bar in The World)
