Nov 5: We all met up in JFK airport and boarded our evening flight to Tel Aviv. After arriving Israel, at Tel Aviv airport and clearing immigration we met Zoharf (our tour guide and bus driver for the trip) and boarded our bus and then we headed for Joppa, a small town a few miles south of Tel Aviv. Here, Jonah attempted to flee from God. There is also a statue of the whale that swallowed Jonah to save him from drowning. Our hotel in the Mediterranean region is the Ramada Hotel and Suites in Netanya, just north of Tel Aviv. This is hotel has nice views of the Mediterranean Sea and lies along a trail for people to jog/run/walk along the sea. There is also a small area with cafes and restaurants.
Nov 6: We started the day with a drive to Gezer where the Gezer Calendar was discovered. Then we visited the Valley of Elah where the David vs Goliath battle took place as in 1 Samual 17. We then had lunch at Elvis diner, an American diner in Abu Gosh that has a statue of Elvis. Afterwords we headed to the Biblical gardens that is filled with wineries, tomb, a good luck tower, and ponds.
Nov 7: Today started with a drive to Caeserea, the main port into Israel during the time of Jesus. We got to see the Roman theater and port. After one last picture of the Mediterranean Sea, it was time for us to head inland towards the Galiliee Region.
