Sunrise on Day 8 - last full day in Israel.
(Day 9 consisted traveling to the airport)
Can you guess...? It's St Peter's Monastery : )
The inside of the church was really pretty and had pictures up in each alcove
I love the Holy Spirit symbol at the front of the church, which is below
A roadside tomb, a great example of the round stone that would be rolled over the entrance and the entrance hole itself
A throne tree whose branches would have been used to make the crown for Jesus's crown when he was placed on the cross.
Mt Carmel
These were beautiful flowers
A statue in the monastery garden
Tel Megiddo
Down to the water source area
The tunnel
Lunch
An Aquaduct... it consists of 2 different ones melded together. The second was built onto the first one
The Roman statues were built with heads that could be removed... that way when there was a new emperor, the new head would be carved and placed on the body
An amphitheater
Sitting on the steps
One of the arches into the amphitheater
Jaffa
Tel Aviv is in the background
The spot where Israel declared their Independence
The shore side in Tel Aviv
Waves on the rocks... so pretty
The clouds rolling in
I found a chameleon
We got to visit Max Brenner, which is a chocolate restaurant. They have lots of different chocolate desserts & drinks as well as some basic food items like sandwiches, etc. None of us wanted any amount of chocolate the next day!

Rachel had hot chocolate... even she was chocolated out
God bless,

Good pictures. I, too, LOVE the Holy Spirit window. I had to giggle at the headless statue. What a clever idea and it sure makes sense. It was also cool to see the round stone that was used to seal the tomb. It helps give a better picture.
