Pictures take a long time for me to fidget with, so here are the captions...
(Left to right, top to bottom)
Random camel in someone's backyard. It's the only camel I've seen and notice the garbage everywhere. Such is life in Israel and the West Bank.
The sunset over the Mediterranean Sea at Tel Aviv. It's the first time I've ever seen the sun set on water!!
A view from our guest house in Beit Jala.
The mosque and church steeples are like, less than 100 yards apart in Beit Jala.
A picture of me standing at Herodian. The Judean Desert in the background and the Dead Sea is back there somewhere.
A picture of a church right outside the church of the Holy Sepulchre.
Ancient stone slab roads that are in the first site of the Via Dolorosa. This was likely walked on by Christ.
This is a view from Yad Vashim, which is the Holocaust Museum. It's at the end of the tour and looks out on the land, where you can see how the Israelis have built a wall and settlements. Interesting.
A view of the souk in the old city of Jerusalem decked out for Ramadan. A cannon goes off at sunset every night to break fast, then fireworks go off. Sweeeeet.
A very typical Jerusalem sunset.
