Holy Land Pictures
October 27, 2009
On Monday night we gathered in our hotel room and everyone gave us the disks with all the pictures from the trip. The result was enormous–over 5200 pictures taken by 8 people over 10 days. I plan to cull out the duplicates and give each person a flash drive with the best pictures. Here are some favorites from our trip.
