Hello FCCB Folks! It is Day Two, and our enthusiasm for this adventure continues. We are striking a balance between savoring the spiritual aspects of our journey and pondering the socio-political implications of the Israel-Palestine question. Our guide has just touched the surface of the latter, and we look forward to deepening our understanding of that as the days go on. On the spiritual side, our visits to where Jesus delivered the Sermon on the Mount, where he peformed the miracle of the loaves and fishes and to the Jordan River were memorable. The highlight at the end of the day was a baptism ceremony performed by Pat and Charlotte (Janet asked if we could "double dip" and we did) in the waters of the Jordan.
