James' Trip to Israel

Since I do most of my blogging on Fun with James and Esme I don't seem to have enough energy to blog here too.  But I did want to share a few photo's of my trip to Israel and Italy.

This is a garden in the City of Haifa

 My brothers and I overlooking the Valley of Armageddon 

 All the men on the Sea of Galilee 

 This is the Church of the Beatitude's...said to be the spot where Jesus gave the Sermon on the Mount

 My mother and I in the Jordan River

 This is a small part of the BYU Center, it is quite and amazing place...even though BYU still sucks

 My brother Mike and I on a camel...lame but fun

 A view of Jerusalem from the Mt. of Olives

 This is the Garden Tomb

 In front of the Dome of the Rock or Temple Mount

 While in Italy I fulfilled a life long dream, to play golf there.  This green had a moat around it...luckily I didn't know that when I hit from the faraway so I made is safely on without incident

 This me about to enjoy a coconut/strawberry gelato...it tasted better than it looked

 This was my car...a Fiat 500

 This is the tattoo that my friend Luca got.  It says Page and James...yes, he misspelled Paige's name and he didn't think to ask me how to spell it until after it was done.  In the tattoo Paige is represented by the mystical Phenix and I am a dragon.  I get the Phenix part, read Harry Potter to understand what a Phenix does but I am not sure why I am a dragon.

This is my favorite food in Italy, it is called a Panzerrotti, Paige and I loved these things but the last time we were there the one shop we like to buy them at was closed.  Since Paige missed it last time I ate two in her honor.
