Good relationship.
Bad relationship.
Are all the ruins starting to look the same to you, too?
After a long, hot hike to the top of a tel, what everyone needs is a visit to a refreshing spring, right? So, we went to Dan.
The rushing waters that flow into the Jordan—22.5 gallons per second!
I love the purple against the white petals.
The oldest gate—3,800 years old—from the time of Abraham. This was built 1,500 years before the Romans “invented” the arch. Ha!
We kinda look alike, huh?
Dipping my feet in the super cold spring—the headwaters of the Jordan. (Darn that half naked man in the background…NICK!)
Water literally flows out of the rocks.
Hello, Mr. Crab =)
See how fast the water is rushing? And Solomon is doing strange things in the water…who knows? *shrug*
After the cool visit to the springs at Dan, we went to Hades. Well, actually, it was Caesarea-Philippi, where there’s a cave with an abyss that the people believe leads to Hades. There are also lots and lots of pagan temples there, including one to dancing goats…
Alcoves for the dancing goat gods. Haha.
Jon wishes he were a dancing goat.
This was a really cool device that wrote Matthew 16:16 in five or six different languages in the sand when you rolled the pestle through it.
Our final stop of the day was the Golan Heights, from which we could see the Israeli-Syrian border and all sorts of neat old military get-ups.
And your destination of choice is…?
The horizontal road cutting across the picture (on the closer side of the green fields) is the Syrian border.
The UN buildings
“I shoot you!”
