The Calvery Chapel churches provided the funding for a very beautiful place to hold baptisms. Seven people in our group chose to be baptized.
Bet Shean was a very thriving urban city at the crossroads of important trade routes. The Cardo was a very exclusive shopping area. At this time the Suez Canal had not been built so the southern part of Isreal saw traders from all over the world.
We drove Into Jerusalem in the late afternoon the city was hazy but it was awesome seeing the Temple Mount and the dome of the rock for the first time. We also went to the Garden of Gethsemane. We were going to go into the cave where Jesus and the disciples probably stayed but it was closed. So far I have been able to walk up and down all the hills, all the stairs on the rocks and my feet are still super comfortable in my walking shoes!
