Photos

Here are some pictures we shot today:

Tired travelers on the bus to Nazareth.
View of the valley that we drove through.

One of the beautiful purple flowered trees.
This is the courtyard and entrance of the guest house we're staying at.

We'll have more posts and pictures tomorrow!

That courtyard looks amazing! Any idea when it was built?

Yes. 250 years ago during the Ottoman period. There are many beautiful examples of the architecture from that time here, when Nazareth was a merchant hub. There are all these arched high-cielinged rooms that were used for storing goods, and now have been converted to cafes and things.

Hi everyone. Blogs are great. We actually feel a part of your experience. The architecture and landscape are amazing. (Daniel, Sunday was a total surprise. We missed you.)
