Galilee and Caesarea

Yee-haw!  Now for our most anticipated part of the trip.  We get to go for some hikes and get to stomp around in ancient ruins with Scott as our teacher!

This morning we leave for the Galilee.  We will spend 3 nights at a Kibbutz in En Gev which is up near the Sea of Galilee.  Most of the ministry of Jesus took place up in that region.  Then we will head over to Caesarea along the Meditteranean.  There is a rich history here as well.  Along National Park site, there are ruins dating back to Herod's time 37-4BCE, including an amphitheathre, bathhouses, a temple, synagogue, Circus and theatre.  Beautiful place to walk around wondering what life was like there 2000 years ago.

As we travel, Scott will be sporting a black, leather interior Audi A6.  He's asked us to call him Bond for the week.  There was a mix up at the car rental place and they gave him the only car available in the city  - at an economy rate, to their dismay!  I will be sporting a blue Ford Focus with one missing hub-cap.  He's feeling guilty, but I love that God gave him a sweet ride for the week.
