various happenings in the holy land

a random conglomeration of jerusalem, ein karem and jericho pictures.

i have 79 new friends. this picture has them all.
i'm the one in the front-ish. blue shirt. you know.

doors are way smaller on the other side of the world.
but the people are mostly normal sized.
does this make any sense?

this is at a biblical museum that we stopped at in ein karem
the man was nice enough to let us in even though it was closed.
they have a bunch of different real life replicas of things found in the bible like tombs, olive presses, tents, doors, etc.
brent brown and i were buried here. on the way to the chagall windows (12 tribes of israel).
little did you know they are located in a hosptial. unusual.
for nay: "poof"
this is where the israeli government blows up suspicious bags (and other bomb like things) found in the church of the holy sepulcher
obama is the president of our country.
he brings hope everywhere his face is plastered to the wall.

for my dad, the defender 90 is everywhere from springville to ein karem, israel.

at an overlook with my friends sydney and jonah (aka eunice)
this is in the west bank on our jericho field trip
close to/overlooking where elijah was fed by the ravens
(a favorite story of mine)
enjoy the pictures...there's plenty more that i will do a slideshow of when i get home.
don't worry.
