Galilee


Last night we spent the night at a hotel on the shores of the Sea of Galilee. The above picture is the sunset we had the privilege of witnessing before we went to sleep (yes Lori iyou will have to expalin to Garrett that though it is a pine tree and a lake with mountains it isn't taken at Lake Tahoe). Today we spent the day around Galilee. We saw the places where Jesus spent much of his minsitry and did so many miracles. Its always one of the highlights of my trip to be in the Galilee. Many of the places in the Bible are ruins, other traditional sites are covered up by churches, or (perhaps) hidden beneath a modern hotel, drug store, or parking lot. The lake, however, is the same as when Jesus came: beautfiul, blue, and majestic in its silent witness of all the things it saw Jesus do . . .


Here are a few more pictures:

Oh yay! Your fish wasn't accompanied by french fries floating in grease. It looks better. I'm glad ladybug liked it.
