The sites on the map are but a small representation of the numerous sites in Israel. They chose to map Akko (Acre), Arsuf (Apollonia), Belveer, Beth Gibelin, Tiberias, Montfort, Tower of David, and Caesarea Maritima.

Map: Crusader sites
For FHE tonight, Zee (16) and Yum (9) taught us (very, very briefly) about the Crusades and some of the Crusader sites in Israel.

Field Trip Reports: The Jordan River
(We have asked our children to prepare field trip reports for our trip--they are doing these all on their own, so keep that in mind as you read!)
Jordan River (Yum, age 8)
The Jordan River is the most important river of Israel. It passes through the Huleh Valley (the waters of Merom), then goes down to the Sea of Galilee, 682 feet below the level of the Med. Passing out at the south end of the lake, the river makes its way through a deep and very hot valley, 66 miles in length, called the Arabah, and finally enters the Dead Sea. The two most important events that happened are (1) this is the way the children of Israel came into the promised land by crossing the Jordan river after escaping from Egypt. (2) this is where Jesus was baptized. The Jordan river is 50 to 200 feet deep. As you can see, the Jordan river is a very important part of Israel.
