Day 1 - Galilee

Sunrise over the Sea of Galilee

Breakfast on the patio overlooking the Sea

or inside if you wish

[did the food taste better if you ate it outside? - fresh fruit, yogurt, olives, fresh veggies, eggs of choice, fresh bread...

Sea of Galilee Boat Ride

Tiberias to Ginossar

Ginossar

The remains of this fishing boat that would have existed during the time of Jesus

were discovered during a drought in 1986 and are now a timeless reminder of life during that time.

The Mount of Beatitudes

Here Jesus delivered his Sermon on the Mount

and today David H. also delivered a sermon... looking over the Sea of Galilee

Korizam

Land of Basalt (black rock)

We are gathered around the remains of an old olive press...

Capharnaum

This town was the centre of Jesus' Galilee ministry.

He spent time here healing the sick, preaching in the synagogue and performing miracles.

This was a port city so He was in contact with people

from all over the world as it was 2000 years ago.

Peter's house is said to be here by the Catholics who have built a shrine over it.

Tabgha

site of the multiplication of loaves & fishes

[sorry but the photos are boring for this one, as the Catholic's have once again built a shrine over the "rock" Jesus stood on the break the bread...

Our Lunch up in the hills in the land of the Drews...

Night on the Sea...
