Another busy day planned ahead of us. We left for the Sea of Galilee around 10:30am. I guess the Israelis refer to it as Lake Kinneret. Ken’s co-worker always looks at me funny when I refer to it as the Sea of Galilee. Anyway, our first stop was the Jordan River and then on to the historic city of Capernaum where Jesus did most of his miracles and sermons. This site was considered a holy site so we had to put our extra clothes on that covered our shoulders and knees. The city had a temple and the remains of many houses- one of which belonged to Peter Jesus’ disciple. Down the road we tried to get into the Mt of Beatitudes but found it closed on Sunday. This was disappointing but we did get into the church of St Peter which commemorates the miracle of the feeding of the 5,000 and the restoration of Peter after his denial of Jesus. We finished the day with a walk on the beach in Haifa. That evening we finalized our plans for visiting Eilat and Petra later in the week by booking a tour and place to stay.
