This is a picture of our guide, Yoni. He is absolutely awesome! He currently lives in Israel with his family; however, he is actually from NEA (for those of you who are not from Arkansas that would be Northeast Arkansas). He is a great tour guide and a solid believer. He is standing by a horned altar.
This is a picture of Jen and I sitting at the foot of the Holy of Holies at an ancient worship sight at Tel Arad. Incredible! Arad is mentioned in Numbers 14 and Numbers 21. I encourage all to read the great story.
This is us after we had just climbed out of a massive canyon in the Valley of Zin. The beautiful hike was estimated to be approx 800ft. Once at the top, the view was amazing. Somewhere in this area is where Moses might have gotten water from the rock.
Obviously, this is the two of us riding a camel!! Yes, I was driving from the backseat. Oh, ignore the length of my jeans... they look like "high-water" jeans, but they're not... really.
After the camel ride, we spent New Year's Eve in a Bedouin tent. They provided a full Bedouin hospitality presentation that was excellent. As you can see in the picture, our Bedouin friend was kind enough to include a couple guys from our group (left, Greg Gaumer; right, John Wohlgemuth) to help him play traditional Bedouin music. We ALL selpt in the Bedouin tent on the floor without heat, pillows, mattresses (you get the point). Hopefully, a few weeks/months from now it will be remembered as a pleasurable experience.
We are now in Petra, Jordan. I am posting this blog becuase Jen is actually with several other ladies at a Turkish bath. Not sure what is included, but I'm sure it will be a memory! I'm sure she will post soon with another batch of pictures.
To God be the glory,
Wes and Jen
