The end of our first day!
We arrived in Israel with our friends and their family at 3:15am. I think Nate was the only one who got a semi decent night’s sleep. So we picked up our rental cars, drove to the home we are staying at, and crashed for several hours.
We woke up, had a late lunch, and headed off to the beach… just a five minute drive away. We were shown the way to this particular beach by the house sitter of the people whose home we are staying in. There was hardly anyone there!
The water was about 75 degrees Farenheit!
This kid LOVES the water!
So does this BIG kid…he’s doing the Gangnam style dance out there! Bet you didn’t know that Andy can dance on water!
This pooch was thoroughly enjoying the water as well and swam with us the whole time we were there.
The sun started making its way down…
Time to get out and dry off…
Praise God, we are in the Holy Land!
I got the whole group to pose like this, but instead of a “Praise God!” moment, it looks more like “Stop, don’t shoot!”
Then we watched the sun go down over the Mediterranean.
Cute kid!
It was a lovely secluded beach.
I think I must have touched the camera lense with a wet finger, because there’s a red circle on some of the photos, but they are still amazing shots to capture the lovely sunset.
Going…
Going….
Gone!
It was a wonderful end to our first day in the Holy Land! Many more great days have followed since then. We’ve been to the Sea of Galilee, Nazareth, as well as three days in Jerusalem. It’s amazing to see the city of David, to see where Jesus walked and taught, and to experience the sights and sounds of this fascinating country!
