Sea of Galilee

Coming from Nazareth, we arrived at the Sea of Galilee and was astonished to see such a beauty of where Jesus had done His ministry at! Most of his ministry was held in Capernaum, Bethsaida, Gadarenes, Chorazim, and other small places. He went to Damascus, Tyre, Caesarea Philippi which is to the north. But, imagine this! He walked and walked and walked. There's no mention of Him being on a horse or a pulley (wagon). He crossed the Sea on a boat a number of times. Also, He often travel down to Jerusalem then back up, then again back down and up. He only had 3 years to do this ministry and a lot has changed in that small timeframe! Simply awesome!

This was Mark's lunch/dinner: kebab, potatoes and salad


This was Jose's lunch/dinner: Saint Peter's Fish, potatoes and salad
We also had delicious hummus with extra virgin olive oil in the center with flat bread and the works! Israel mostly serves chopped veggies, especially in the morning for breakfast. Fish is also served in the morning! It is said in the Bible that Jesus ate fish in the morning for breakfast so its a practice that exists today! Wow!

Jose's fish is actually named, Jaws! :) See the teeth from Saint Peter's Fish.


Jose brought out some pieces of bread and a mob of seagulls came to feast on them
