Ramot Resort Tiberias

... is Israel's water source and thanks to a very dry few years, especially last year, there is a serious water shortage as the sea is drying up. I look around and see only religious families, no women are going in with their bathing suits so I go in in my dress.The water is just gorgeous. Lovely sweet, clear water. I actually drank a bit just to see what it tasted like. It's sweet!<br>We whip out the shesh besh, like we always do, and play a few games. We swim some more.<br>We hang out ...

... around a neighborhood only finding a tiny overlook with a few ruins. I&#8217;m not sure if this was it or not but if this was all there was it would certainly fit into the words of Yeshua when he said 'woe to Korazim&#8221;. We found a shortcut back onto 90, which was like an interstate highway with unlimited access points. We passed Safad and then I panicked. I looked at our map and thought we were right at ...

... extra waters in a few backpacks. We also brought food for pb+j sandwiches, sunblock, towels, etc. As we were walking we passed some old town ruins (pics to come). The valley there is beautiful, much unlike the desert where we live and work; green and lush with trees, bushes, flowers. At the watering hole, we hear people yelling and then big splashes! That means, there's a cliff to jump from! A few of us were very excited. We get there and see that people are ...

... Gespuehr dafuer, wie man aus einer bunt zusammengewuerfelten Truppe aus Amerikanern, Hollaendern, Franzosen, Finnen, Deutschen, Juden, Muslimen und arabischen Christen mit staendig wechselnden Mitgliedern schnell eine funktionierende Belegschaft, die sich darueber hinaus untereinander auch noch super versteht, formen kann. Und dazu noch ein ausgereifter Geschaeftssinn, ohne dabei gierig zu sein. So einen Typ Arbeitgeber sollte Israel als Exportartikel ...

... toward our hotel in Tiberias. Along the way, we passed through the town of Migdal, where Mary Magdalene (the "Migdal-ene") was from. I'm talking about all this driving, but none of these little towns is more than a stone's throw from each other around the lake. This is where it all happened "back in the day". That evening after dinner, we went out for a walk and heard music at the amphitheater next to ...

Well, we are one step away from departing Israel to start our big trip. We left our apartment in Tel Aviv and moved north (still in Israel) to stay with our family till the big date (Jan 5th, 2009). We love it here, this is where we grow-up and the sights are the scenery that accompanied our childhood ...

... susan would like it noted that she is sure hana means 'affluent,' as jerusalem is actually pretty clean). there was also a lot more horn honking in Ramallah which leads us to belive it is part of Arabic culture. from Ramallah we met our guide who took us to the city of Nablus deep in what is in theory Palistinian teritorry. we won't go into that to much but after passing through Israeli check points and noting their military bases on the surrouinding hills we went on a ...

... sone asked me if we're going to be visiting any more churches while in Israel &amp; are there no synagogues. I assured him this was the last we were going to visit here &amp; we will eventually get to the other religions, including ours. I assured my kids that part of the beauty and charm of Israel is that it is a country of contrasts. Wheres 10 minutes ago we were in a highly advanced city, with tall building and modern conveniences, we now passed farm land, and cows ...

... by the Khalifs of Umaya whose capital was Damascus. In the start of their rule, neighboring Lod was the regional city ruled by SULAYMAN brother of the Khalif ALULAYED. This ruler began the construction of a new city in 716 near the sands by the shore and therefore named it Ramla from the Arabic word RAML, meaning sand ...

... B.C. in the whole world, which are as well preserved as Gerasa. After Petra, Gerasa is the most interesting city of ruins in Jordan. Because of its well preseverd ruins Gerasa is called the "Pompeji of the East". The entrance to the city is Hadrian's Arch (around 130 A.D.). The Cardo Maximus was in a Roman city the central North-South-axis. Normally, a Roman forum would be round, but this is oval (90 x 80m/262 x 295 ft).
