Today, Sunday, we spent 8 1/2 hours touring and learning in "The Biblical Landscape Reserve in Israel" The reserve is a very large park devoted to planting vegetation to match what was there at the time of the Bible. As we moved through the different areas the guide read Scriptures that explained what would have been there and she pointed out the trees that were described in the Biblical verses.

Other areas we discussed were cisterns and their importance in ancient biblical context, Other aspects of the early Hebrew life, the importance of the foliage, water and seasons all were brought out through Scripture verses.
There was just so much information both about the foliage and landscape and Scriptures that I feel as though I had a brain fry from two directions.

Due to technological challenges I will not be posting pictures for a few days. I trust that the problem will be solved with in a day or two. If it cannot be solved I will post pictures once we return to the states.

Tommorrow, Monday we will go to Jerusalem for the day. The areas we will visit depend on traffic and waiting time for the historic areas.
