Day 11






This morning we moved to Jerusalem. We hiked to the top of Mt Carmel to find out the bus wasn't there to pick us up. We hiked back down. Elijah must have been pretty well built. My knee still hurts today from that trek. We left this area and stopped by to visit these nice gardens before we ended up in Jerusalem. These olive trees may have been there back in Jesus time.

Day 10 Continued.........






This day has been so packed full. From an unplanned stop by the hillside to have a lesson on the sower and continued to the threshing floor, the nice fields of boundaries and then to the stone quarry. We stopped for a session at the winepress and had the girls dance. That was special!! We had a lesson under the trees but can't recall the lesson. Next we visited another one of Herod's buildings.

We left this place and headed to Capernaum and visited the place were Jesus lived. We walked up the hill by the groves of bananas. What else am I missing for this power packed day??

After the sower, the thrashing floor we got to the possible (carpenters shop) new thought on the work traits of our Messiah!
