More of our day in Galilee

Sorry I missed yesterday but we got all of the pictures from the Galilee downloaded last night and just a few are below!  We have had an AMAZING trip so far.  It almost feels like the 6 days of touring we have planned will just not be enough.

We were able to see so many sites, and we even rode a wooden boat across the Sea of Galilee (which is actually a lake!)   We have learned so much; not just about the life and times of Jesus, but about civilization and villages that were buried time and time again and a new village built on top...sometimes up to 25 times!

In Israel before they start new construction they call in the architects to look for old villages and synagogues...so different from America where we look for coal and oil!

People leave prayers at all of the holy sites!

This is the village of Bet She'an...they just uncovered
it 20 years ago and are still excavating!

is 6'2" (as a reference)

Another view of Bet She'an...we walked
170 steps to the top of a man-made hill!
