Day Seven: Jerusalem to the Galil

Another busy, fantastic day, starting at Hadassah Hospital and it's Chagall Windows. After that, hold your breath -- Beit Shean, Bet Alpha, Kibbutz Degania, the Kibutz Degania chocolate shop, and arrival at our magnificent Ramot Resort Hotel, just in time for a dip in the pool and sunset over the Sea of Galilee.

Day Six: Jerusalem

An amazing day, and our only air-conditioned day yet. Hebrew Union College, the Israel Supreme Court, Knesset, and Israel Museum. Don't ask -- that is David Pawliger on the floor of the Supreme Court, working to get a shot of the beautiful rotunda.

Day Five: Masada and the Dead Sea

Very, very hot all day, but good fun - the Gator flag is planted on Masada. And then, on the way home, our bus breaks down! We are a bunch of tough survivors, though.

Day Four: Shabbat in Jerusalem

Our own tour of some of the Christian holy sites in the Old City, followed by lunch at a great hummus place in the Muslim Quarter.
