We took a picture of the Old City from the Jerusalem Center before leaving for Galilee.
We stopped at the southern end of the Sea of Galilee where the Sea enters the Jordan River.
This is the site where John the Baptist baptized Jesus, according to tradition.
Several years ago, during a dry season when the water at the Sea of Galilee had receded, this boat was discovered in the mud. It dates from the time of Jesus. It had been preserved because it was encased in mud. To excavate it, they had to keep it moist. If the wood dried out, it would disintegrate. To move it, they encased it in foam, like that used to seal openings around pipes, etc.
Josh and Ben preferred the fish in the pond rather than the historical site.
There are two churches at Tabgha near the foot of the Mount of Beatitudes. One celebrates the multiplication of the loaves and fishes and one honors Jesus' command for Peter to "feed my sheep".
On the Sea of Galilee where Jesus served breakfast to his disciples after his resurrection.
This stairway probably dates to the time of Jesus.
The remains of Peter's home in Capernaum.
