Flying home
Sadly, our journey has come to an end (but we promise to fix the blog up and put some different pictures on once we get home). The last 4 days we have spent on the Sea of Galilea - it was fantastic! On our way we stopped at this really cool Roman Fort from the 1200's called Montfort or Starkenburg (Strong mountain). It was a steep hike back to the car afterwards as we hiked down into the valley. Yesterday we biked for 60 km around the entire sea (well, it is really more of a lake). An interesting and tireing experience.
See you all soon.
See you all soon.

Hey did you pick up any of those flat white rocks that you see on the pathway to the Shrine of Baha'u'llah and the Bab? Apparently they send year of service up to the Sea of Galilea for days just to hunt for hose rocks and pick them by hand! That was pointed out to us when they were explainging that we shouldn't take ANYTHING, including flower petals!
Okies the sqeeters are getting on my nerves and I gots marking to go do, joy! Check out my pics and check my blog tmw, there will be an update!
Luv Laura
P.S. You still need to make a trip to Africa!
No, we didn't pick any rocks or petals. We were good pilgrims. Nobody ever told us that the rocks were hand-picked while we were there, but Ailsa told me that many years ago and I remembered and told Alberta when we were there.
Also, in the last blog Alberta said that Montfort was a Roman Fort, but it was actually a Crusader Fortress. It was a beautiful place and we should be able to put up pictures soon.

I meant did you pick them up from the Sea of Galilea not the Shrines....duh, of course you don't pick them up from the there! But it seems you didn't pick any up...
