Eilat, Israel – Birds under the Sea

April 8, 2014

Kendall felt a little ruined out (though she stills loves ruins), so when presented with the opportunity to go to Petra or stay at the beach, she chose the beach.  Eilat has an underwater observation that is supposed to be top notch. We were told the sunlight reflecting through the water is best from 11a-1p, […]

Bet Shean/Qumran, Israel – Ruined

April 8, 2014

We got up this morning to a chorus of birds, to have breakfast on the front patio with the caretaker’s enormous white lab at our feet and the sea of Galilee in front of us. We call moments like these when the ambiance is just right, “Moments with Jane”. Jane Phillips, a treasured family friend, […]

Golan Heights, Israel (A hike, waterfall, & fortress)

April 5, 2014

If I was going to live in Israel and got to pick my location, it would definitely be the Golan Heights area. You quickly get used to the armor clad Humvee’s with machine guns on top and all the signs warning you to not go off the road or trail due to the unmarked land […]

Ceaserea/Haifa, Israel – Ruins & Prophets

April 3, 2014

We took a taxi to get our car rental around 10a.  The first thing I noticed is Israeli drivers are as fearless as they are fast.  There is no such thing as defensive driving here as everyone is on offense.  Kendall became such an amazing map reader that we pretty much stayed on course most […]

Jaffa, Israel – Brides & Cats

April 3, 2014

Jaffa is the place to go if you are looking to run away from the Lord (Jonah 1:3), ship cedars from Lebanon(2 Chronicles 2:16), raise someone from the dead (Acts 9:36-43), or see a vision (Acts 11:5).  On the taxi ride to our hotel I was beginning to think I might have bitten off more […]

It is a huge reason I love to lead adventure trips for beginners, as their enthusiasm is contagious. I think that may be one of the […]
