A Few More Israeli Days & a Jordanian Sunset

So we didn't have good wi-fi access the last few days, so here are a few pictures from our recent adventures from the Dead Sea, Qumran, Masada, Beit Shean, and a few more.  We currently are in Amman, Jordan and are headed south to the city of Petra, which I am quite excited about.
As we left the Galilee region we stopped at the peak of Mt. Arbel for the view.   I  wonder if this could be one of the mountain tops that Jesus often retreated to in order to pray.


The ancient ruins of Beit Shean are cool.  Here I am at the Roman restroom.. not the most comfortable, but you get the idea.

Sandy and Talia looking over the ruins of the ancient city of Jericho....and the walls came a tumbling down.  
Looking down on the Roman city for Beit Shean from the top of the Ancient city, where Saul and Jonathan's bodies were hung after their deaths, until the men from Jabesh Gilead came to resue them and treat them with respect.
Talia and I on the balcony of our hotel room overlooking the Dead Sea.

And a few more pictures:
