On the way to our hotel, we stopped at Jaffa (called Joppa in the Bible). The whale sculpture in the picture is in honor of Jonah. Joppa is where he caught a boat on the way to Tarshish (not on the way to Ninevah).
Behind me is the Med. Sea. Jaffa is a city on top of a tel (hill). Acts 10 talks about Peter's vision in preparation for his visitors from Caesarea. He saw a sheet come down from the sky containing animals, reptiles, & birds. Then a voice spoke, telling him to get up, kill, and eat. Which he refused on account of it being unclean. He saw this vision 3 times.
Is there mountain biking in Israel??? Too bad I can't read the sign.
Another picture of the Med. Sea.
