high and low places

We're very close to the end of our "pilgrimage," but we're not quite finished yet. Here are a few more pictures from some of our travels to Galilee. More to come. Salaam... Shalom... Peace.

The Jordan River.

Waiting to climb down into the valley. The cliff we hiked down is identical to the one behind us. For certain folks (read: me) who have a healthy fear of heights, this was intense therapy.

Goofing off at "Jumping Mountain" outside ancient Nazareth. When Jesus upset his home crowd by saying he was the Messiah, the Scripture says they took him out of the city to throw him down on the rocks and stone him. This is the only place outside the city that fits the description.
