Yesterday, on day 8, we finished the Galilee portion of our trip by heading to the very north to Dan and Caesarea Philippi, with a final stop at the church of Primacy. Today, we headed back to Jerusalem to start the last third of our trip.
- We started day 9 by hopping on the bus and heading down the Jordan Valley.
- Our first stop was Beth Shean which is one of the 10 cities of the Decapolis, and the only one on the west side of the Jordan River. We took a nice hike to get to this site and we talked both Old and New Testament context.
- Then we got back on the bus for a 2 hour ride down the Jordan Valley. We crossed into Palestinian Territory and traced the route Jesus most often took when he travelled from Galilee to Jerusalem.
- We made a stop at the ruins from New Testament Jericho.
- Then it's up to Jerusalem from Jericho…and back to the Gloria Hotel.
