Our cruise ship left Rhodes and sailed to Haifa, Israel. Here we took a tour bus to Nazareth - home town of Jesus. We have visited the Church of Annunciation. This is the place where the revelation to Mary, the mother of Jesus by the angel Gabriel that she would conceive a child to be born the Son of God took place.
The walls around the courtyard are lined with pictures from all over the world about Mary and baby Jesus.

Hi Kate!
I really enjoy reading your blog and I'm so amazed at the pictures that you had taken. One of my dream vacation trip is at Holy Land. My friends and I have been planning to spend our vacation trip there, and we're actually about to book some good Jewish tours to Israel pretty soon. It is advisable to book earlier to avoid hassles. Today, it is easier to find affordable Jewish tours of Israel.
Thanks for sharing your wonderful vacation trip in Nazareth.
