The Mount of Olives. The Hell Valley.
Jordan Picture
I found it rather interesting, even surprising, how small the Jordan River was. From my youth attending Sunday School, I had always imagined it as a large river, much the size of the Mississippi River. In reality, however, it is really rather more of a small creek.
To the top is a site where baptism are held even to this day.
Golan Heights
On the way to Capernaum, we traveled along the west bank of the Sea of Galilee, where to the right of us was the Golan Heights.
Capernaum Pictures
Little ole' me (age 34-ish) at the gates of Capernaum.
Crusader Fort at Acre (also known as Akko)
On the east coast of Israel, a few miles north Haifa, is the city of Acre - its ancient name is Akko. It is the site of an ancient Knights Templar Crusader Fort, known for, among other things, the Templar's Tunnel. Although I and my small group were not "supposed" to go there, we obtained a guide who took us to the fort. Not, again, supposed to have been there, we were not able to go through the tunnels, but seeing the fort, what we could see, was quite exciting for me.
Proof that I was there. Hopefully, I won't get courts marshaled after these pictures
become public. I think I'm safe, though, since I have been retired now for over 26 years.
It is my hope that you have enjoyed these pictures.
