More Pics from Israel

The Basilica of the Annunciation in Nazareth
Megiddo
This is the tunnel down into ancient Megiddo’s water system. These water systems are really pretty amazing.
A model of the ancient city at Megiddo. I forget which period this is.
Here are the remains of the stables at Megiddo. These stone feeding troughs, or mangers, are probably like what Jesus would have been laid in.
The Arbel Cliffs
This is the ancient village of Magdal, the home of Mary Magdalene, viewed from the top of the Arbel Cliffs.
Galilee
Me standing on top of the cliffs above Galilee. The view is unspeakably beautiful.
We have also visited Dan, Hazor, Arad, Lachish, Tel el Hesi, Avdat, Makhtesh Ramon, Jerusalem, and hiked the Zihn Wilderness. Too bad I broke my camera, though, so I won’t have any pictures until after I get back into the US and exchange pictures with my colleagues. Perhaps I’ll post some of them in a couple of weeks after I get them, but this is all for now.
