Church group. Learning vacation I suppose. Stayed in Tiberias, Bethlehem, and Jerusalem with day excursions from the Lebanon border in the north to Masada in the south. An emphasis on the biblical areas around the Sea of Galilee and around Jerusalem with a day in the old city. Other stops in no particular order or rank of importance: Nazareth, Cana, Samaria, Jericho, Dead Sea, Sephorus, Cesaria Philippi, Golan Heights...
Our guide was a huge encyclopedia of so much of the history, geography, religious differences, etc. and went into some detail from Abraham through current.

Interestingly we were in Jerusalem the day of the Jerusalem Day flag parade that caused some rioting and police intervention. IDF and police out in force but all was quiet when we went into the old city the next day.

Dang, you got around over there!
So where are some pictures for us?
“You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named "Bush", "Dick", and "Colin." Need I say more?” - Chris Rock
They're still stuck on my phone. I'll need to go through them and see what I can post. But I'm sure they're not very good pictures.
But it's not hard to get around the whole country. They said it's only the size of New Jersey and a huge chuck of that is just the Negev Desert. We didn't spend much time on the coast except for a quick stop in Jaffa the day we got there and a trip over to Ceasaria Maratima.
