Israel & Jordan October 2011

Our trip to Israel with the Jim King Ministries was really more than expected. We had a great tour of the Holy Land with Jim and Pam, our very knowledgeable guide Johnathan and the best bus driver in the country. To see our pictures click on Israel and Jerusalem.

At the end of the Israel tour, we boarded a bus to Eilat and then on to Jordan where we spent two days at Petra. For best viewing run the slideshow on Petra, Jordan.
