Adventure at the Dead Sea...

With no internet at hand -- except EXPENSIVE Blackberry time--I omit for the time being discussion of fascinating Nazareth, and the things we visited there. Having left this morning the Sisters of Nazareth Convent -- built over the ruins of the oldest Christian church in existence! -- we headed to Mt Tabor.

Right away we saw things would be different -- Mt Tabor is a VERY steep and tall peak, rising out of the middle of the Jezreel Valley. Buses simply cannot make it up the single lane, multiple switchback road. So we transferred to eight-person vans at the bottom.
