Good bye Holy Land

 Our luggage is loaded in the Red Bus #1. Today we say good bye to the Holy Land. This trip has been more than we expected. Thank you Jesus! Heading to Nazareth, Mount Carmel, Megiddo and Caesarea by the Sea. Cloudy and cool- we have had great weather. Everyone is looking forward to getting home, but not looking forward to the long flight. Our flight doesn’t leave until 1 AM.  Johnny has been an excellent tour guide. He went to college for 3 years to become a guide. He speaks Italian, English and Arabic and Hebrew fluently.  “Sam”, our bus driver, is amazing! He has taken the big red bus to places it should not go. Sam is the man! We took up a collection for tips for Johnny and “Sam”. Nazareth- Mary’s well- only spring found in Nazareth. Mary and Jesus got water here. Mary may have had a visit from Gabriel at the well- the annunciation. Drank out of the spring that Mary and Jesus used. Bought a small jar to put the spring water in. So glad we got to see this. Went to Moun...

God Bless the USA

 Landed in Newark around 7 AM after a long 11 hour flight on El Al. We have had an amazing experience in the land where Jesus walked. Some highlights were the Garden Tomb, Sea of Galilee, Mary’s Spring and Capernum and Baptism in the Jordan River to name a few. Every day provided a wonderful experience. The Wildman family took good care of us.  We made some good friends in a short time. The Red Bus #1 was the best!! We shared an amazing and holy experience. We also shared a lot of laughter!! What a blessing to be with other believers on this journey.  We are so very thankful to Jesus for allowing us to make this holy land journey. What an incredible privilege to walk where He walked and see what He saw. Thank you Jesus!
