2014-02-28 to 03-17 Jordan - Israel - Cairo

We traveled to Jordan (Petra), Israel (Jerusalem/ Galilee/ Masada/ Dead Sea/ Capernaum/ Cesarea / Tel Aviv) and Cairo with three couples in our study group. Sabins and McConkies didn't join us, and that was a good thing since they couldn't have kept up the pace and the walking required. Our travel group also included Jeff and Nancy Flamm, Mitch and Kim Olsen (Kim is Kelvin Cullimore's sister), Wes and Jody Innis, Mark and Sally Dietlein, Clark and Nora Burgess and Vanne Ashby (Clark's sister). Some trip highlights: time alone in the Garden of Gethemane, the Garden Tomb, floating in the Dead Sea, the synagogue at Capernaum, and others. Some things I never knew about before - Petra (a wonder of the ancient world and home of the Nabateans) Zippori (where Jesus would have labored with Joseph as a youth and young man).
