Day 3-Caesarea, Haifa, Megiddo, Nazareth, Cana, and the Sea of Galilee

I can't begin to describe what we saw today.  The places, the stories and the feelings would take many pages of writing.  So I can only gloss over these very important places.  I have heard the names since I can remember remembering.  Bible stories and songs about Bible stories are in my DNA.  Prior to now they have been just names of places I have read, sung and talked about, thought about and taught about.  Now they are real, although I never doubted their reality.  

We had a quick buffet breakfast at the hotel before boarding the bus and heading to Caesarea.  The Roman ruins on the sea include a theater, a palace, an arena and an aqueduct.

It was quite warm for 8:30 in the morning.  I was worried about the rest of the day, but it was quite nice all day.  The wind kept us cooled off for the most part.

Our next stop was Haifa.  It is a large port city looking down from Mount Carmel.  It is the world headquarters of the Ba'hai religion.  

I see lots of plants and flowers that grow in California.
