Again this morning we were up at 6 am, breakfast at 6:30 and on the bus at 7:30 bound for Mt. Nebo. This is the place where God showed Moses the view of the promised land. The dead sea is shown on the center left side.
   
Our guide explained this all to us and then pastor Mike read from the bible about God speaking to Moses. There was also a Mt. Nebo museum which we visited.
   
Our guide informed us what the museum was all about. We then stopped at the Mosaic School of Madaba. Many beautiful mosaic pieces were available for purchase.
   
We got to visit the area where the mosaic art is taught with many items in progress. Here is one of the students learning the art.
   
This is a sample of the beautiful art. Behind the school was a scale model of the Jordan valley which we all enjoyed.
   
We crossed the border to Israel and got a new bus driver on the right named Civon and a new guide Sami. We checked in to the Caesar Hotel in Tiberius this afternoon. This hotel is on the Sea Of Galilee. At supper tonight we were entertained with a Bar Mitzvah going on at the next tables. It was quite loud but entertaining.
