Galei Kinnereth Hotel Tiberias

... hours until the sun sets, it was beautiful. A lovely day!<br>I wanted to get a bite to eat in the city and we hitched another ride in. We hit this fabulous shawarma place that has no sign and is the most expensive around, but packed with people.I had liver on a pita and it was fantastic! <br>At the bus station, Avsha and I notice some lady with super high heels and a teeny skirt. We start chatting about gold diggers and I put the song by Kanye West on my ipod. We start bopping our heads ...

... border of Lebanon. So we made a u-turn and turned east on highway 91. I had made a mistake about the Lebanon border which was still around 30 km away but it turned out being a great mistake as we traveled north off highway 90 on secondary road 918. On this road we wound through the fertile Hula Valley along a tree lined county road. We came to a quaint country river bridge with a little green sign saying ...

... repelling from on top of the waterfall. Next time! We get into our suits and head into the water. It's very cold, but you get used to it after a minute. There's some rocks to dive from, and a cliff to jump! The jump is about 15-18 feet up and it kinda takes your breath away. One guy there was a really good diver and did back flips and cool stuff. Everyone clapped. And as usual, there was a group of Americans there other than ourselves. From what we ...

... br><br>Und um dem Ganzen noch das i-Tuepfelchen aufzusetzen, ist dank der freundlichen Unterstuetzung meiner Mutter mein MP3-Player wieder gefuellt und auf Hochbetrieb. Kann es eigentlich noch schoener sein!? Nun ja, langsam wirds tagsueber selbst hier in den etwas hoeheren Lagen richtig heiss, die Nachbarschaft stellt sich als scharf auf unsere (weiblichen) Gaeste heraus und besonders seit meinem Tag am Strand von Haifa fehlt mir das Meer wieder ungemein ...

... hotel. Someone was putting on a Jewish song and dance shindig. Much of it was folklore dancing and singing, but they had some modern groups too, including groups of hip young people. Oh, and it was the first time I'd ever heard Hebrew Rap!! Now I think I've heard everything!! ;-) Well, we were leaving the next morning. I really hated to leave that area. I loved being where Jesus spent most of his ministry.

... plan is to finish all the arrangements and packing, spend quality time with our family and friends, travel and rest. Leaving our friends in Tel Aviv wasn't easy, we left with mixed feeling and we allready miss them all. We Hope to see you all before Jan 5th, till then, keep reading. Ayelet &amp; Nir Miller

... of the sweet and spice factories of Nablous (all very exciting). We also saw the water system ( huge cisterns filled partially from local water falls) which was rather exciting for those of us dorkey enough to be studying such things. the striking thing about Nablous was the personal tragedy mixed in witht the everyday life. evidence of the 2002 Isaerli invasion was evident in the buildings and the deaths it caused still raw in the minds of the people. We were much ...

... groves of olive trees. There is a nice combination of old and new in Israel, that I don't think is found in many other places, in such a small area. &amp; the fact that there are three main religions (as well as many other smaller ones) in one such small area. We then proceeded to Yudit's brother, Rafi's home for a bar-b-que, Israel style. This place was amazing. A nice size back yard, half of which was outfitted with a huge stone grill and oven and sink &amp ...

Today we had the blessing of visiting Jerusalem, the city of King David, the most important city in the geo-political world today, and the capital of the world tomorrow. We started out later than usual. We spent an hour in a Bible Study that Dave Baker and I gave in our hotel room after breakfast. Dave talked about taking advantage of the opportunities afforded by this project and used some example from his own life about how God can bless our efforts. I spoke ...

... the city passed the great route from Damascus-Syria to Cairo-Egypt. Also passed the route from Jaffa near the Mediterranean shore, to Jerusalem located in the high mountains. These facts led to Ramla's great military and commercial value. As Ramla grew and developed, the neighboring city Lod began losing the importance it ...
