We arrived to the museum around 4pm, but that was okay because it is open until 8pm on weeknights and 9 pm on Friday and Saturday night. We were there on Saturday evening and hardly even had to wait in line.

Before we dive in to see the Jordan River, I found a few more beautiful photos of the Sea of Galilee on Alan’s camera!!

Let me tell ya, I was STARVING. It was a good thing because lunch was fish caught in the Sea of […]

After we left Nazareth, we hopped back on our bus and rode through the ever-so-bumpy streets of Cana. Maybe you have heard of Cana, where Jesus turned the water into wine? We didn’t actually stop in Cana. Another destination was on our minds: Capernaum and the Sea of Galilee!!!! Eeeeeee!!!! So excited!!! That bus ride was so bumpy that my Fitbit credited me with climbing about 200 flights of stairs. Yeah. I earned so many badges. Hahaha! I tried to make […]

After Nazareth, and before Capernaum, we headed over to Tabgha, to see where Jesus called his first disciples and later performed the miracle of feeding the multitudes with the one basket of bread and fish. This sign below provides a nice overview of what happened here: History and the Bible People often want to compare Christianity with science, which is baffling because Christianity is not science.

Destination: Nazareth These photos of Nazareth depict the shop where Joseph worked as a stone carver (carpenter). We also see the Church of the Annunciation, which features artworks of Mary and Jesus from all over the world. This was one of the most exciting places to visit in Israel because we learned more about the family of Jesus and where they came from. I mean Nazareth is famous to all church-goers! ***Disclosure: All ads on this site are affiliate links, […]

For me, touring Israel was all about the history. I wanted to EXPERIENCE the Bible lands. Historic sites, ground that Jesus walked on, that was what we were after. On day 1, we crashed with jet lag and didn’t leave our hotel. Day 2, we rushed off to Jerusalem, as fast as our tour bus could take us. On day 3, Alan was working, and Julie and I were feeling out our surroundings, so we walked all over Tel Aviv, to see […]

Happy 4th of July, friends! There’s this one DIY/home decorating blog that I love, even though this blogger’s home looks the polar opposite of mine. Seriously. She has 4 kids, and yet she decorates in white. And yet it looks beautiful. Her blog is Tidbits-Cam.com, and if you want to be inspired by photos of sheer beauty (who doesn’t?), give her a visit. Today on her blog, she is showcasing inspiring patriotic images, and I liked it so much I decided […]

When I talked to Julie the week before our big trip, she mentioned that she enjoys walking, and she hoped to walk everywhere in Tel Aviv. “Perfect, I love walking!” I said. But then, as I got to know Julie better, I began to realize we were not exactly on the same level with the physical fitness. She walks, and she runs, and she exercises. Julie is what we call fit. Super fit. I am more like what we call….not […]
