PICS: People, Places & Things

We stole some pictures from our friend's camera...here are some treasures!!! :)  Enjoy...

We are standing in the Sea of Galilee

Andrew taking one of the few quiet moments we had...in the Sea of Galilee (he almost fell getting out, but I don't have a picture of that!!)

Bethany Beyond the Jordan - where John baptized Jesus.  We are standing on the Jordan side, the opposite river bank is in Israel.

A camel train in Jordan

A Jordanian taxi ride down to the bottom of Petra for our friends, Elma and Victor

Amy and Alethea, posing with the Treasury guards in Petra

The bathroom - built inside a cave in Petra.

Here we are looking really white, bobbing in the Dead Sea.  Being VERY white is quite the attraction all on it's own in the Middle East!!  Andrew claims he could have sold tickets poolside, for a few shekels :)

Practicing our syncro moves in the Dead Sea

on the shores of the Dead Sea - sorry about the background...hard to escape that!

On top of Masada...this was the one and only day that I got motion sickness in the bus, and it was 40+ degrees on top of Masada.  Here, I am leaning against the garbage can...just in case.

Part of our group, atop Masada

Taken from Mount of Olives - the Dome of the Rock is the gold dome in the background

Amy and Alethea, at the Church of Simon the Cyrene
