What an amazing 48 hours it has been. The journey to Israel was perfect in most every way. Monday afternoon a 777 departed Newark NJ with approximately 40 or so Daily Audio Bible listeners, all eagerly anticipating a memorable journey to the Land of the Bible.
The inflight service and services were legendary. And the exposure to different languages and customs on board the long 10 hour trip added variety to an otherwise very long trip. My only hiccup of the trip thus far was a seat that did not reline. I woke after a fitful night pretty sore, but thankful to be on the trip.
We hit the ground running, with a tour of Caesarea. Wonderful lunch at Port Cafe' featured freshly prepared food with unique and new tastes. The highlight of our time there was a brief teaching in the Roman theater, built on the shore of the Mediterraneon sea (built by King Herold). Acts 12:20-24 was read and heard by us all with larger perspective and appreciation for the fact that we were, in fact, walking on site of a significant place in the story of the Bible.
The picture above was the view outside our hotel room this evening before our lavish buffet dinner. I am tired, not really knowing what day it is (or at least my body is confused) and my mind is ready for a rest. The fellowship among the group is rich, and we all look forward with great anticipation to the adventure tomorrow will hold...
