Hello again from the clan McLaws presently in Israel. We had a decent night sleep (lasting about three hours) before the sun was up and we had to be going. I took a few shots of the Mediterranean Sea as seen from the window of our hotel room.
Here is a picture of our hotel...The Blue Bay Hotel and Spa. It was Shabbat (the Jewish sunday) so there was little activity all day. It was clean, the beds were firm, and our electric converters worked...for the most part. After an interesting breakfast of salads, fresh vegitables (which are usually seen on a dinner plate instead of a breakfast plate) eggs, fresh bread, fish, fruit and yogurt we took a walk along the beach.
We collected a few sea shells, some coral, sea glass and other rocks. The McLaws blood in me mandates that I pick up a rock if it's pretty...oh well.
Before boarding the bus for the first day of travel and sight seeing. We stopped at Caesarea and saw a Crusaders Fortress, got pictures of an ancient Roman Aquaduct, saw the graves of the two LDS missionaries burried in Haifa, stood atop Mt. Carmel and recounted the story of Ismael and the wicked priests of Baal. By this time it was getting dim but we saw the valley of Armageddon (Har Megiddo), drove thru Nazareth and stopped at our final destination of Tiberius on the Sea of Gallalie. I will have some more picture posted soon. We love you all and can't wait to see you again.

Hotel and Spa?? What do I need to do to be a part of your family? You guys sound like you are having so much fun. I cant believe you have already done that much! You are going to have so many great stories to tell the kids especially with it being Christmas time! We should do a group FHE and listen!
