The photos on this page are not of Jerusalem, but of sites along the route. Our first stop today was at Tel Megiddo. Armageddon and Megiddo are the same place. Again, the word "Tel" signifies that there are multiple civilizations built one upon another at the same spot.

This is a tomb that was along the side of the road. Tom took the photo from our bus window.
