Some photos...





























I decided to take a break from writing and put up just a few pictures. The pictures are: the security wall, a close-up of one of the faces on the door of the Church of Peter of Gallicantu (Dad, I figured you might enjoy this one), the Dome of the Rock, and the Western (Wailing) Wall (where you can see the partition between the men's and women's side). The rest are from the streets of Bethlehem and Jerusalem. I have taken many, many more pictures, so if you want to see more, let me know when I get home!
Peace,
Cory

While you have been safe on your journey to your destination you need to be safe on the way back. It is nice to see the pictures of the different statues and buildings from your trip. I hope the lord keeps you safe on the way back home and give you the open eyes to share the wealth of knowledge you have gotten on the journey you have taken

Dear Cory, It's nice to see all the photos you have taken from your journey to isreal. But what i think makes them most enjoyable is that i think it gives us the true esscense of what it's like over there. Because of all the variety provided with the photos. Anyway, i hope you make it home safe and we look forward to seeing you again. Your student,David

The pictures are great it really lets me be able to see how it is over there. I like knowing that you took the pictures because when i'm looking on the internet i dont trust the sources of the pictures. The pictures really show me a part of the way of life over there like how the shops are just out on the streets. My favorite picture is the western wall because its such a huge wall. I just want to say thanks for keeping us updated and giving us information while you were there.

I really enjoyed those cool pictures. It's cool how cultures differ so extremely overseas. Vendors hang around outside to wait for their customers, selling vegetables, fruits, etc. Also, the way people gather for prayer, following their routines to pray. The Western Wall was really cool, too. I'm glad you and your group made it home safely!

I really enjoyed those pictures you took. I got to see how life is there and how much different it is. Sometimes it is hard to imagine life that is so much different than our own. I think it is great how you got to experience that.

I think that those pictures really helped me see what goes on there. It is not violence all the time. They have the same goal as us (making money to support their family) but they do it in different ways.

I think that it is really cool to see another country. Seeing these pictures just opened my eyes to how much different other cultures and religions function. I am also glad that you had a safe trip, and I am looking forward to seeing and hearing more in school
