Hey, all you Deadheads, that title's for you. (For the rest, never mind.)
Last night we at in Old Jaffa--lots of traditional food. This morning we're set to depart on a jam-packed day of sightseeing. Here are the sites on the agenda:
* Caesarea - The great Roman port city and one of the largest archeological digs in Israel. This is where the Roman centurion Cornelius was baptized by Peter and became the first Gentile convert to Christianity (Acts 10). It's also where Paul was tried by Festus (Acts 25:6-12). (That story is in my new Philippians study.)

* Mukhraka – Mt. Carmel, where Elijah battled the prophets of Baal (1Kings 18:25).

* Megiddo - (1 Kings 9:15) A fascinating tel comprising twenty-six (!) ancient civilizations superimposed on one another, overlooking the Valley of Jezreel also know as the Valley of Armageddon (Revelation 16:16). Whoa.

* Nazareth Village – A recreation of Nazareth during the times of Jesus.

* Nazareth, for real - The boyhood home of Jesus. We're set to visit the Church of St. Gabriel and Mary’s Spring, followed by a meeting with Mr. Ramzi Jaraicy, Mayor of Nazareth.

* Cana – Town where Jesus performed His first miracle, turning water into wine (John 2:1-11). Not Welch's--the good stuff. Lots of couples renew their vows here, because Jesus was at a wedding when he sped up the process of nature.

After all this, we drive to Tiberias, check in, dine, and fall into bed, no doubt "feelin' 'bout half-past dead."
