Galilee
 |
| In order: Paul's home built over by a modern church. Jesus probably spent a lot of time here. The church on the Mount of Transfiguration. A mosaic floor piece. A newer white synagogue built on remnants of the darker synagogue at which Jesus definitely preached. |
 |
| The Sea of Galilee |
 |
| the Sea of Galilee, an ancient boat from the time of Jesus, an old war machine at a war site between Israel and Syria, and our view of the Sea of Galilee from our kibbutz's beach. |
 |
| the Church on the Mount of Beatitudes |
 |
| our Galilean home! |
 |
| Huntsy: you've GOT to try the mustard seeds! EAT the mustard seed! |
 |
| my favorite: scripture reading in a hammock on the beach |
 |
| Caesarea Phillipi where Peter confessed Jesus as the Messiah |
 |
| view from the top of the mount of beatitudes |
 |
| Us on the top of the mountain home to Nimrod's Castle but not really. |
 |
| on our way home- the Mediterranean Sea again! |
 |
| Marcie, Me, and Sarah. Our fellow tenants in the kibbutz. |
 |
| A legitimate ancient Roman aqueduct at Caesaria. |
 |
| Another part of the Jordan River- where born again Christians get baptized. |
Galilee was one of my favorite two weeks in the Middle East. I love its serenity and its spirit. We alternated days going to class and going on field trips. It was the ultimate experience to study Christs' Galilean ministry as I sat on the banks of the Sea of Galilee and go to the synagogues and sites where he actually taught and spent time with the disciples.
