Drinking the sweet water at the spring of Harod. Notice how I am drinking compared to the person next to me (I'm wearing the white shirt). Check out Judges 7:1-5 (that's in the Old Testament), I would've gone on to fight the Philistines with Gideon, the other guy would've been told to go home!
This is at Bet She'an, where the Philistines displayed the bodies of King Saul and his sons, after the battle of Mt. Gilboa. Later, King David took the city, and it became the administrative center during King Solomon's reign.
Here is Bonnie at Petra, in Jordan. Both of us wish we could've had an extra day there -- so much to see.
Look at how much we float in the Dead Sea! It was a really weird sensation--you can't swim forward in your front, because you float so much that you end up doing a somersault!
This is in Caesarea -- I'm standing on an ancient Roman aquaduct.
