A visit to one of the Herodian--one of masterpiece palaces of Herod the Great. Lots of learning at a huge model of 1st century Jerusalem. Awe at the sight of the Dead Sea Scrolls in the Shrine of the Book. Inspiration as we joined thousands of other pilgrims in the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem and visited the grotto containing the celebrated location of the birth of Jesus. What an amazing sight!
Today also included some shopping and our best meal so far--some home cooking Palestinian style. Weather absolutely glorious. Tiredness weighing on some but all healthy and making 100 percent of sights. We have a great group and are getting to know each other better each day. Blessings to you all from Bethlehem.
