Our work was made much easier by the car and driver provided to us by the Palestinian Ministry of Tourism. It was a long, hot hike down to the Monastery of St. George. Coming up, we were pleasantly surprised by our driver, who managed to drive his car down to a crevice in the mountain, cutting our hike by half.

I know what Rick means about the heat in the Holy Land. When I was there in July, I visited the Masada site on the Dead Sea for a couple hours. I was so thirsty from the intense sun of the Judean Dessert that I drank seven bottles of water in one afternoon. Despite all that liquid, I didn’t have to relieve myself. I probably could have drank even more.
Thanks for showing us what we may have otherwise missed.
