Miracle @ Caesarea Maritima

The Pilgrims II Group landed in the Holy Land on Monday. It is now Tuesday night. It's been thrilling, informative,  eye opening, and exhausting. We has a full day today. Huge breakfast. Bus through Jaffa and Tel Aviv to Caesurea. They have ruins of ancient city and vital port built by Herod the Great. Then rebuilt byByzantines  and crusaders. Destroyed finally by Muslims. There's a big part of Irael/Palestine's story. Divide and conquer over and over. 
  The miracle was there among the ruins. Wins was great. Ruach said God. Add rain. Rough walking. Some where in all that I lost a vital expensive hearing device. But God, new friends like Lenore intervened. Found it. It looked just like the rocks we tramped all over. Device saved. Course I dropped my camera which doesn't work now. 
  Still quite a day. Great food, very different.  Great guide and driver. Good sharing. God rules. 
Pictures later. Sleep now.

  1. Ok Steve I feel I have to say this since you've already had some hiccups--DONT FALL In the Sea of Galilee! Just kidding, I hope you're having a magnificent time already! Many of us here at home are already missing the Holy Land. Peace in your travels, Caitlin
