  A string of pictures of Israel... I have 1700.  As you can see Israel Rocks all over the place!  And we were continually getting high!   

  
  

  This first picture is Uncle Tom.  There were rock walls made of stacked rocks held up by wire fencing material in many places.

  
  

  

  
  

  More rocks plus a cool sign x 2 pictures.

  
  

  

  
  

  

  
  

  Tom Up High.

  
  

  

  
  

  This is me following Brad, a guy from our church body, on the trail.  Tom was always telling me to stop and then he would snap my picture or he would tell me to go over here or there, snap.  At first I was uncomfortable being put in so many pictures, always wondering if my hair was a mess, etc.  But after awhile I didn't care anymore.  (Well, maybe a little.)

  
  

  

  
  

  Here's another one, "Kath, stop!" snap! 

  
  

  

  
  

  Here is cute little Christy & Zach her husband x 2 years.  She did most of the work putting the trip together.  She is the one who nagged us into going.  She prefers to have me say she "encouraged" us to go.    I have some really neat pictures of them swimming at the pools of Bethesda and Zach taking a shower in a waterfall to post later. 

  
  

  

  
  

  We did a lot of hiking.  I loved that.  Here are a couple of pictures of one of the hikes we took.

  
  

  

  
  

  

  
  

  Here we are up on Mt. Carmel singing.  We read about Elijah and the Prophets of Baal here.  It was gorgeous and I got some nice flowers to press.  Have more pictures of this to put up.

  
  

  

  
  

  Here's Nancy and me. 

  
  

  

  
  

  This was a surprise to me.  Israel has lots of banana orchards.  They cover the bananas with plastic to protect them.  Usually bright blue, but sometimes gray or black bags.

  
  

  

  
  

  These next pictures were snapped from the bus as we traveled.
