We have been to the Dead Sea area today. Saw Masada (scaled it by cable car)...then on to Qumran, and Jericho....and all within that area, including Mount of Temptation. It was incredibly hot....low 90's or more...dry, dry, dry....tried dipping in the Dead Sea.....and so glad for shade and fluids at every point.
All are well, and tomorrow we head to Bethlehem in the morning, and in the afternoon we are scheduled to see West Jerusalem, the Kinneset, Holocust Museum, Ein Karem, the home of John the Baptist, etc. In the evening we have invited the MCC couple, Heather and Ryan Lehman, to come and speak to us of their work in this city.
We are being fed well, and any pounds we may have lost in Nazareth, have been regained in the abundance of hotel food. We have shared almost every evening about the sites we have visited each day, one person having prepared in advance to expand our understanding of these places of interest.
Off to a good night of sleep we hope! We are getting eager to see all of you soon.
With our love and prayers,
Nancy for all of us
