More pictures from Day 9

Totally skipped these pictures! This is the rest of day 9 – enjoy!

I hope you enjoyed the presentation of Masada – I enjoyed putting it together and listening to it once again. But it wasn’t the only thing we did that day, and I had a few more pictures to share from our time at the Salt Sea and Ein Gedi. It was a wonderful day, and an awesome way to spend our last full day!

The Tour at Masada

Taking a few pictures post presentation

Bobbing along the salt sea

Friends at the Falls of Ein Gedi

I can’t remember why we were here. I was knocked out asleep and we stopped, so I got off the bus, looked around, then got back on the bus. I don’t even remember this picture…

 

Last Day and post Tour

So here are a few pictures from my last few days in Israel; the end of one journey, but something that I will be looking forward to repeating sometime in the near future. I hope you all get to experience Israel in your own ways!

Presentation from Day 9: Masada

Hello, I’m back! I’ve been trying to prepare a treat for you all, and it took longer than expected. But it’s finally finished, just a glimpse of an experience from the tour of Day 9 from my time in Israel. Here we have Hanoch Young, our tour guide, at his finest telling us all about Masada. With pictures and other graphics, you can get a taste of how awesome it was!

And after you finish, you should hop on over to Kol Yehuda and sign up for the next tour!

Pictures from day 8: Jordan River, Qumran, and Tamar

Another full day with an awesome adventure towards the south of the country, through time and culture. You can review the summary of our day at the river,  in the caves, and at the digs here!

And so, we start our day going down to the Jordan River. There are places that say that this spot here or this spot there is where Jesus was baptized. Regardless, it was the Jordan, and it was a special time for the people shown below!

Some spoke of their journey, some declared a simple sentence. Here is a brief testimony from a wonderful couple:

After they dried of and changed, we went on our way to the Qumran, the place where the dead sea scrolls have been found, and where they are still doing some digging. It was really fascinating walking through time to view a glimpse of the “Dead Sea sect” that preserved so faithfully the scriptures of what they believed what we believe. It was pretty amazing and surreal!

After we left there, we journeyed to Tamar Park, by way of the Salt Sea (experience to follow!) Tamar Park is this incredible archaeological treasure that reveals at least seven periods of Biblical history. You can see some of the pictures, and many of the historical figures that have helped to shape Israel’s existence.
