We went to a factory where they make mosaics, and sell them of course, in the same manner as they made mosaics in ancient times.
We went to the Jordan river and had a baptismal service. It was very very moving.
We went to Jericho, the oldest city in the world. We saw the ruins of the old city and some of us got up close and personal with a camel.
We have moved to a hotel on the outskirts of Jerusalem. We are on the tip top of a mountain and should have a great view. However, a sand storm has clouded the skies. Hopefully a little rain will clear the air.
We are having the time of our lives.
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
