Day 7 Sun Ein Arbel, Mt. Olives, Gethsemane, JERUSALEM

We are staying at the Dan Jerusalem Hotel downtown Jerusalem! Look it up...amazing place!

We started off the day with one last look at the Sea of Galilee and Tiberias. We climbed Mt. Arbel and got a bird's eye view! Breathtaking...
Gorgeous view of the Sea of Galilee

Max, Pat, Daniel with a view of Galilee below, as we have one last look before we leave the Sea of Galilee area and head to Jerusalem

Justin, Daniel, Melissa, Erin above Galilee region! We wish these pictures could capture the sights we are experiencing.
THEN INTO JERUSALEM--ENTERING THE CITY IS BEYOND WHAT I CAN DESCRIBE. TEESHA HAD A BEAUTIFUL SONG "JERUSALEM" PLAYING THROUGHOUT THE BUS AS WE ASCENDED OUT OF A TUNNEL FROM THE DESERT RIGHT INTO THE BREATHTAKING JERUSALEM!!! I know my eyes weren't dry! We have ascended twice now and I believe I will cry tears of joy every time we enter! It's magnificent!

Behind us is BETHLEHEM
