Went to Caesarea (Maritime, Pontius Pilot) on the Meditteranean Sea - Very beautiful - the hippodrome is huge!
Visited the traditional Via Dolorosa, crucifixion, and burial site
Visited the church of all nations built on the garden of gesthemane
Went to a park on the Mt. of Olives with an incredible panoramic view of Jerusalem - watched the band take camel rides
Had a great Arabic Bedouin dinner at the Shepherd's Valley Village Tent Restaurant - they performed a traditional Dabkah dance for us too. The food was GREAT! Best yet.

All this excitement - whatever will you do when you return to normal life USA?
It's going to be hard to come back to the realities of life. Sleep...who needs it? You can always sleep on the Looong flight home!
Quite beautiful!
