There and Back Again, with Photos

Overlooking Jerusalem from the Mt. of Olives
The travelers are home. They arrived in time for lunch after being on a plane for twelve hours and another couple of hours driving in from Newark, NJ. The jet lag hit late in the afternoon, and little Pearl is all tucked into bed, snoozing her way back to Eastern Standard Time.

I'll just share some photos they brought back.
Pool of Siloam, where Jesus healed a man blind from birth
The Wailing Wall, Jerusalem
Petra, the crescent valley
En Gedi, Pearl's favorite place because of the waterfall; this is the area where David and his men hid from King Saul
Fitted out for the narrow, watery, dark Hezekiah's Tunnel, Jerusalem
The Garden Tomb, Jerusalem (1st century tomb with rolling rock)
Atop the Temple Mount, in front of the Dome of the Rock
in the Jordan River, near where John the Baptist baptized Jesus
