Israel Tour Update Day 3

Caleb left a fb post that he didn't get a whole lot of sleep last night but that might have been because he was out having Israeli coffee after dinner.   :-)
Important to remember what bus your on!!

This is straight of off the tour's itinerary, this is what his day should look like today (Friday).
After an Israeli breakfast they will drive through Tel Aviv and travel via the Sharon plain to Caesarea. Caesarea was the seat of the Roman Procurator of  Judea in the time of Christ and the place St. Peter converted the centurion Cornelius. (Acts 10:24).
Then they will explore the Roman Theater and the aqueduct and view the ruins of Roman, Byzantine and Crusader times, continue ons to Mt. Carmel, to the "Mukhraka" the site where Elijah challenged and defeat the 450 prophets of Baal (1Kings 18:20).  On to Megiddo, the fortress city of King Solomon, later built upon by King Ahab. The books of Daniel and Revelation will come alive as we study about the final Battle of Armageddon (Revelation 16:14-19). Drive through Nazareth, the home of Joseph and Mary and through the city of Cana of Galilee, where Jesus performed his first miracle (John 2:1-11) turning jars of water into wine. Finally drive to Tiberias on the Sea of Galilee to dinner and the hotel.
Wow!  I bet he sleeps well after this busy and exciting day.
                                                             
He sent me a couple of pictures from yesterday, I'm not sure where they were taken exactly, somewhere in Joffa, but they are pretty cool looking anyway.
