Jaffa

Started the tour today.  We took in the coastal towns of Jaffa, Caesarea and Haifa on our way to Nazareth. 




Went by the Church of St. Peter in Jaffa that remembers his time there both raising Tabitha from the dead and having a vision declaring all foods clean.  







We went through the extensive Roman ruins at Caesarea.  A long stretch of aqueduct, King Herod's palace and the current dig which has uncovered the prison under the palace where St. Paul was likely kept before going on to Rome.  Roman engineering is quite impressive!

Haifa was the stop for lunch and a quick visit to the Bahai Gardens.
