Palestine and Israel Photos

Famous Sights In Palestine and Israel

The Sea of Galilee.  Larry is walking on the water.

The Church of the Loaves and Fish, built near Galilee, where Christians believe Jesus performed his famous miracle.

The famous Roman aqueduct near the Mediterranean Sea.  Beautiful sight.  Nice beach, too.

Nazareth, where Christians believe Jesus grew up.  The large church to the right is the Church of the Anunciation.

A lovely family we met in Nazareth, with grapes growing from their patio awning.

Anna, Kurt, Noah, and Erik (L to R) look out over occupied Syria (the Golan Heights).

The UN keeps watch on the border between Israel and Lebanon in a reminder of the troubled times.

Lisa and Dr. Kamal with the UN folks.

Dan, with an ancient Roman encampment behind him, at Masada.

Masada is an ancient fortress near the Dead Sea.

The Dead Sea.

You can see swimmers floating, because the water is so buoyant you literally cannot sink.

Dan looks out at Jerusalem from atop David's Citadel.  The golden Dome of the Rock is in the background.

The walk from West to East Jerusalem.  You can see the beautiful golden Dome just on the horizon, above the traffic.

Just inside the Old City's Damascus Gate in December, 2000.

A typical day... walking from our home in East Jerusalem to the West.

You can see the Old City walls on the far left.

Palm trees, just outside the Old City Walls.
