The Jesus Trail

Bruce, Brandon and Justin went to Israel for 5 days to walk the five day trail in three days.  They ended up taking a short cut to Tiberias instead of walking to Capernaum.  They got a taxi in Tiberias to take them around Capernaum and back to Nazareth.  Then they got the bus down to Jerusalem and stayed overnight with our friend in Bethlehem.  They had a great time.  Here's some photos:

Wadi Rum visit

Wadi Rum is in the south of Jordan and we went for a 2 night stay.  This is where the Bedouin people have lived for years and still live in much the same way they have for centuries except they now live in brick houses.  It was such a lovely soul refreshing time - mostly because of the absolute quietness and peacefulness.  Here's a selection of photos:

 I love camels... so weird.

 How awesome is this?

Fall festival

I dressed as a self cleaning yard bag (not just an old bag)!  I won the prize for

the funniest.  :)

This student is a very creative person too - he was a 'kitchen warrior'.  He won for most creative!
