Israel In Pictures part 1

The hotel in Tel Aviv. Tel Aviv was super western, I felt like I was in any other major city.

Cesarea Maritime. 

Me, Bryan and Liza at lunch on our first day 

The Church of Annunciation. This is believed to be the house Mary was living in when the angel appeared and told her she would be the mother of Christ.




Sunset on the Sea of Galilee

The Valley of the Doves. This is the pathway between Galilee and Nazareth so Christ almost definitely would have walked this path.

Tabgha, the site of the miracle of the fishes and loaves.


This is where they believe Christ would have sat when he fed the 5,000

Mount of Beatitudes and the Sermon on the Mount
