Road Trip!!!

After Jerusalem, I decided to rent a car and drive up into northern Israel to the Sea of Galilee and the Golan Heights.  The road that takes you there hugs the Jordan border and takes you up the Dead Sea valley.  I love a good road trip and the scenery was amazing.  Beginning in Jerusalem, you drive down to the Dead Sea, below sea level, and then gradually go up in elevation until you reach the high hills of the Golan Hights.

Tiberias

Church of the Primacy of St. Peter

Capharnaum, town of Jesus

Banias Falls

Nimrod Fortress

Bahai Gardens in Haifa, Israel

Then finally back to the Mediterranean Sea down to Tel Aviv

The whole trip took about 2 days, one night.

This is my final post for the Middle East.  In 4 1/2 hours I'll be on a plane back to NYC for one night then off for another 2 weeks in the beautiful Gulf of Mexico.  An end to one adventure and the beginning of the next!
