We just returned to the Leonardo Plaza Hotel in Tiberius for the second night after a wonderful day of traveling where our Lord traveled.We took a boat ride across the Sea of Galilee first thing this morning. The water was calm, the weather warm. 

The boat docked at Nof Ginossar to visit the “Jesus Boat” museum to see a boat that dates back to the time of Jesus. 

Then we stopped at the Primacy Of Peter where some of us were able to put our feet in the Sea of Galilee. The next stop was the Mount of Beatitudes.

Lunch was at a great little restaurant, Pilgerhaus Tabgha in Gennesaret. Our group was the only one there for most of our meal.  We had a choice of fried tilapia with the head still on or chicken.  We all wanted to experience a true Sea of Galilee Talapia and with the head still on.  It was delicious! Good job everyone!

After lunch we went to the site of Caesarea Philippi where springs form a source of the Jordan River.  One would have thought we were back in Marysville for the amount of rain that was pouring down when we first got there.  It was actually flowing down one of the sets of stairs to the site.  Being the brave and adventurous folks that we are and true Washingtonians, rain did not keep us from seeing this site.

Our last stop of the day was CapernaumThe Town of Jesus where we stood in the remains of a synagogue.

Tonight is the beginning of the Sabbath day for the Jews. 

Sitting on the boat this morning reflecting on all that we know about the Sea of Galilee in God’s Word was my favorite part of the day.  We are off to dinner in a bit.  Pictures are not downloading right now so I will try again later.

Tomorrow we head toward Jericho and The Dead Sea.
