All around Israel!

Petra, in the Hashamite Kingdom of Jordan, was amazing, even for the second time.

It was a wee bit hot but it was fabulous and beautiful.

Everyone enjoyed climbing up in the cliffs.

The Treasury, we tried to find Indiana Jones but he was nowhere to be found.

The next day was Masada, because it was so hot the guard wouldn't let me run up.

John, Matt and I ran down it though. It took only 15 minutes and LOTS of sore muscle!

Here we are all hot and sweaty! I was so hot I couldn't even taste the ice cream bar I was eating. As a side note, the Magnum icecream bars are AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!

John's favorite lunch here, burger pita with an Israeli Pepsi.

Here, they call fries chips and they put them inside the pita, weird...

Qumran, where the Dead Sea Scrolls were found.

The Garden of Gethsemane, here they have some of the oldest olive trees in Israel.

The acousitics in some of these old churches is too beautiful for words.

Lunch at Genesis Land, served by Abraham. It's similar to how we would have been served a meal 3,000 years ago, one of the best meals of the trip, yum!

Everyone got in on the camel rides, the baby camels are ADORABLE!

Bag of chocolate milk for breakfast anyone?

FYI, it's great on your corn flakes!

The Western Wall

On the Temple Mount.

Placing a prayer in the wall...
