Tel Aviv

TelAviv encompasses the old city of Joppa. Acts 10:5,6 tells of Peter dwelling in Joppa with Simon, the tanner. TelAviv is the largest all Jewish community in the world. It's history includes the Canaanites as far back as 1800bc; the Philistines who held it until Solomon's time; Soloman made it a port city that served as a gateway to Jerusalem bringing the timbers for the temple through there. And on and on...
We left the city quickly and drove to our hotel in Tiberias. The following pictures are on that route. A fairly dry, ugly route. We noticed that many times our guides spoke of the beauty of Israel. There were some pretty spots but we figure they have put so much effort into making it green and growing that to them it seems so lovely. Surely they have not been to Montana.
