I've always dreamed of going to Israel, but to actually have that dream come true is something I'll always remember. Over the next few weeks, I'll share some of the things we saw there.

| The Church of the Beatitudes, a small but lovely church. |

Beautiful shots of the Galilee. Look forward to seeing the rest of them.
ReplyDeleteFascinating pictures. I especially like the nun and amazing gate.
ReplyDeleteThanks.

How wonderful, Sue. Truly a dream trip! We could use the message of the Beatitudes right now in the USA!.
ReplyDeleteOne of the places that I'd like to visit one day...
ReplyDeleteWow...exciting!!
ReplyDeleteAmazing trip of a lifetime to walk where Jesus walked! Wonderful photos!
ReplyDeleteThese pictures are so lovely!! Have a very great week!
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful. What a wonderful trip. I would love to go there.
ReplyDeleteWow - that's really interesting...(and not where I ever would have guessed!)
ReplyDeleteNice placeSue. I guessed wrong but you got the right place to go.
ReplyDeleteHave never seen Israel like this. Beautiful photos of historical buildings.
ReplyDeleteIt looks beautiful. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, you are in Israel... so gorgeous places and the funniest photo is that with the dogs by the portal. Have a great travel.
ReplyDelete(yesterday I could not comment and today it is the second try, somewhat isn't correctly working here for me...)
To your request: this is the usual construction style of old houses in our area from middle age until 1900 (my home too, build in 1850), will make more photos in next weeks, when finally all the rain is over.
Yes, visit to a holy place is always like a dream come true. Unique church architecture.How lovely it looks on a moon-lit night!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful gates and doorways.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos!
I have heard so much about Israel from my friends who have been to Israel. I am so happy to see the photos and I am looking forward for more photos. At least now I get the chance to see Israel through your photos!
ReplyDeleteSo jealous! I haven't been to Israel in way too long.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos and wonderful narrative. That extra hour of travel had me perplexed so I guessed wrong.
ReplyDeleteI cannot think of a place that I would rather visit than the Holy Land. To literally stand on the same ground and walk the same streets as our Savior would indeed be a dream come true. However, I am content that one day I will eternally reside in a place that God has prepared for me. Have a blessed day.
ReplyDeleteWhat interesting photographs! The nun talking to the dogs was quite fun. Thanks for your sweet comment on my photos of Cape Town (I was behind with comments). And, thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteWe loved Israel! Glad you had the opportunity to go!
ReplyDeleteWow! I bet you had a fantastic time.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photographs of somewhere I've never visited. Those gates are incredible.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing such special memories.
I'm so jealous. That's been on my bucket list for a long time. Great Photos! Enjoy and can't wait to hear more.
ReplyDeleteThat is super exciting!! I have never visited Israel so I always enjoy posts about it. :-)
