A day of travel

We awoke to another beautiful day, our last sunrise on the Sea of Galilee.  Russ was out on the patio to witness the beginning of the day in Migdal, Israel.

 Some of the beautiful bougainvillea at the prayer center in Migdal.

 One last look at Mount Arabel, the mountain we climbed up and down on Wednesday.

We ate breakfast at 8 am at Beit Bracha prayer center and left by taxi to Nazareth at 8:45.  The trip to back to Al Mutran in Nazareth, where our luggage was stored, took only about 45 minutes.  On the Jesus trail, it took us three days! It was interesting to see the places we walked and recognize some of our route.  After picking up our luggage, the taxi took us on to the bus stop where buses to Tel Aviv left every 30 minutes or so.  The cab driver saw our bus leaving, so he chased it down, honked until it pulled over and got us on.  That was a first for us!  The ride to Tel Aviv went smoothly, we arrived at the bus terminal and took a taxi to the Sea Side Hotel.  This afternoon we walked down to the beach, the Mediterranean is beautiful!

Tonight we watched the sun set at the beach.  This morning we witnessed the sunrise on the east side of Israel, tonight sunset on the west side.  As we watch the news this evening, the unrest in the Middle East is sad and disturbing.  We have felt completely safe in all our travels thus far.  We will fly to Athens early Sunday morning.  Thank you for your prayers for our safety and our journeys, we can feel it!  Until tomorrow,
Russ & Carol
