Today we drove a whole circle aroung the Sea of Galilee, except for a stretch we did by boat. This was the main are of Jesus ministry and the place where most of the events in the Gospels took place. So, a few pictures, again in random order, thank to the blogger web site working a bit crazy.
This is a first century boat the was found in the mud along the seashore when the lake was low. Much like the boat Jesus would have ridden in and the disciples would have fished in.
Here is our group in front of the 4th century synagogue, built on top of the synagogue that Jesus preached in at Capernaum.
A 5th century mosaic in a Byzantine church on the sea shore.
I told Ana to keep her penguin on a leash, but she wouldn't listen to me.
The town of Capernaum from the sea, as the disciples would have seen it while fishing.
I few folks from our group on our boat trip on the Sea of Galilee. It was a beautiful day.
A close up of our group at the synagogue.
Here you can see the 1st cetury foundation the 4th century church is built on.
Our last stop was at a Byzantine church built near the spot where Jesus cast a "Legion" of demons out of a man and into a heard of pigs.
The effects of a long day, warm sun, and beautiful flowers.
This was our last day around the sea and we're a bit sad to leave. On to Jersualem.
