Nate (leader) & Na-El. Na-El was our bus driver. he's a Bedouin and had to leave his village when he became a Christian.
Laura and I at the Sheraton in Tel Aviv on our long journey home.
the Sea of Galilee is perhaps the best body of water i've ever had the privilege of swimming in. in the evenings the winds pick up and you get some good sized waves. the great part is that it's fresh water and it's the PERFECT temperature. so you go swim and have fun in the waves and everything, but when you come out you're not salty and gross. it's great.
on the cardo at Bet She'an, a huge Roman city
Shechem/modern-day Nablus
Scott playing Israeli Pac-Man at our final dinner
