Old CityJerusalem from the Mount of Olives




In Just a few days 29 Episcopalian Christians from Whidbey Island, Camano Island, Bellevue and the Olympic Peninsula - all in western Washington State - will depart for the journey of a lifetime to the Holy Land.

This Blog is a record of their adventures! You can click on any image and get a larger version of the picture you see here. Use your browser's 'back' key to return here.

The story begins at St. George's Anglican College and Cathedral, located just north of the Old City in Jerusalem. On the right you can see a picture of the garden at St. George's, with the Guest House immediately to the left.

The journey will include visits to the Old City itself, to Bethlehem, to Nazareth, the Sea of Galilee, and many points in
-between.


But first, we have to get there! We leave from Seattle on Tuesday, September 9, flying on Delta via Atlanta to Tel Aviv, Israel, arriving in the late afternoon the following day - no doubt all ready for a good night's sleep.

Check back often for up
dates on what the pilgrims are doing!
