Sea of Galilee, Capernaum, Mount od Beautitudes



Day 9-Sunday June 1 This morning took a nice walk along the beach at the Sea of Galilee. We got on a Galilee boat for a ride from Ein Gev to the north shore at Nof Cinosar As we ride along on the boat we stopped about the middle for some devotional thoughts, singing and meditation. This is where we recall many stories we have heard of Christ walking on water, the fisherman and we sing the song "Peace Be Still" it was beautiful. Years ago there was discovered a very old fishing boat sticking out of the mud. It had been sunk into mud for hundreds of years. The restoration process was very technical and now the boat that is called the Jesus Boat is in a very nice museum close to the shore of the Sea of Galilee.
Later on we visit Capernaum where Jesus lived for three years. Then the Mount of Beatitudes and later see the movie The Galilee Experience.

that is so interesting. It is really neat how that boat turned out after all those years.
