What will be the reality of this trip?

Holy Land Travels by Stephoni

Hmm... A trip to the Holy Land. When I tell people I am going the reactions are varied. Is it safe? What are you going to see there? I keep wondering what this trip will be like. Will it be touristy? Will I 'feel' anything spiritual? Will I meet anyone who is real? I have no idea what my Isreal-ity will be -- but I am open.

Our lodging in Nazareth



Yes - the courtyard and our dining room were this charming. Our rooms were very monastic, but I was thankful for such a wonderful place to stay. I learned that the 'town' of Nazareth just had 200 residents at the time of the annunciation and that the residents lived in grottos or caves they had carved out of the soft hillside stone. Mary was in a grotto when the angel appeared to her.
