Three Museums

Today was a rainy day - we experienced a possible quarter of the deserts' annual rainfall 😅.... would've preferred sun, but it was neat to see the waterfalls that come pouring off the huge cliffs on our drive. And for ND folk 65 and rainy calls for a swim. 😂 Talia enjoyed the whole pool to herself!
Next, we headed to Qumran, the location where the dead sea scrolls were found (and where we were determined to find the rest of the temple treasures 🧐). It was really neat to see and learn more about it, but the paths leading to the caves were blocked off due to flash flooding.
We stopped for lunch at the lowest point on earth and drove thru a major downpour.
Then we got to the holocaust memorial. Everything has to be reserved ahead of time, and since this wasn't originally in our plans today, the reservations were full, but we still got to explore and walk the outdoor gardens with sculptures.
Last we spent a couple hours going thru the huge Israel Museum. Really fun and interesting modern art and loads of old archeological findings full of history. It's a huge place that we could've spent more time, but feet get tired and we had a2 hour drive to Tiberias where we are staying the next two nights and exploring the Sea of Galilee 😃Read more
