What a wonderful trip we had. We saw so many amazing things in both Egypt and Israel, including the Pyramids, the Temples in Egypt, the Tombs of the Pharaohs, the Jordan River, the Sea of Galilee, Mt. Moriah where the temple stood, Jerusalem, the Mt. of Olives, Gethsemane--- just to name a few! All in all, we took over 1,500 pictures and almost as much video. So much to see in the two weeks we were there! No, we are not going to share all 1,500 pictures (thank goodness!) These ones were just a few that we chose from amongst the many to share with everyone. Enjoy!
