about vocabulary...
If you play scrabble..and are GOOD at it, you actually use of most of the English language, especially if it is either a 2 or 3 letter word..or contains an X,Q or Z ;-)

Just learned today of your trip and spent the evening catching up on your entries. Wish I had known while you were there - would have liked to commented. Oh well, it was quite interesting and enjoyable to read all at once nonetheless. I see you still have the knack for witty banter. Wouldn't mind keeping in touch on occasion. Take care (hope your father is doing OK).

ruins
Hi David! What great pictures... I'm sure these are just a few of the 100s or 1000s you've taken. Can't wait to see more. :) How cool that you got to swim the the Sea of Galilee... is it salt or sweet water? Also I wonder about that photo of Capernaum. Is the entire city in ruins, or do people still live there/around there? Are all of the places you've visited protected and preserved archeological sites? Does the country take care of them for the sake of tourism? And as far as tourism goes... did you run into many people traveling the country?

Dead Sea
I've always been curious about what it's like to foalt in the dead sea. It must be fun to feel weightless in water. :) Did you actually go up to the Dead Sea Caves? Did you see the actual Scrolls at a museum near by, or something? It's amazing how Jehovah has always provided enough ancheological findings to prove that his Word the Bible is historically acurate and that it has not changed in centuries of new copies and translations.

David, thank you so much for sharing your trip with us. If I am so intrigued by just seeing the pics and reading the comments, being there must be fantastic. We are looking forward to welcoming you home. I hope we will be able to look you in the face, since you just came back from the "Holy Land".

I would want it too!
I would want Naboth's Vineyard too. The only real trees as far as the eye can reach... and if you want your privacy when you take a dip in the spring - you've got to have those trees.

the pictures of the sea of galilee look so inviting! Even more so when the churches are gone for good. I hope you gathered up some of the dead sea salt- in smaller amounts it's really good for the skin. Dad and I have enjoyed following your journey. Thanks so much for the daily updates. They have also made all of us worry less . Still we'll feel much better when you're back. Looking foward to your return-I have news. Love Mom

Amazing
Wow- what an amazing place you chose to visit! Thank you for sharing your story and pictures. I bet it feels incredible to have reached the place on Earth that the miraculous stories of Jesus have been documented in the Bible. Does it seem strange that it is an actual place that you can go?

great post
Myself and 2 brothers (raised in African and American cultures) are laughing at this post. We're here in Spain so are in total agreement about some of your observations of American tourists. I side with you about the cultural issue, but I think Amer. history is so "young" on the world scene it's important to learn about more than just national history. There are more xenophobic cultures around the world, but you're speaking from the perspective of a highly educated, relatively advanced US city. Outside of the urban centers I'm sure you'd be hard-pressed to find a large community of multi-lingual persons. (Think Jeb, from north Missisippi) Nonetheless, why wouldn't a world power solely be concerned with its own self-preservation? Personally, I think traveling allows us to get a better understanding, and greater appreciation of people's lives in far away places and makes us more compassionate, well-rounded individuals.

the end is near
It's Sat evening here. I've spent some time reviewing your comments and pictures. All of them have been very informative and much appreciated. Your picture of the Sea of Galilee is especially lovely.I did not imagine Israel wood be so attractive in some areas. Looking forward to your safe return, and many more details from your trip. Regards to Rick. Love Mom

Gideon's Army
I like the Gideon Army reenactment as well. I have a question, that really has no answer. These events took place thousands of years ago, so do you get a "feeling" from these sites. Does your gut tell you that they have the correct places picked out? Do you get the feeling from some places and not from others?

Was Simon's house a museum? By the way, what sort of trinkets are they selling at these places?

Filthy
It's filthy, really? Are Muslims the only caretakers, or are the Jews or Christians involved as well? With all the tourists they get, it's surprising that the place is kept in bad repair.

Living Vicariously
David, You are certainly far from home. In a world far different from home. However, we have certainly appreciated this blog that allows us to travel vicariously through you to lands and places that bring the bible to life. In a few days you'll be home, back to familiar places and people, but for now we appreciate the opportunity to see the world through your eyes. We're there with you in spirit!
