Day 5

Riding on the Sea of Gallilee - We listened to a couple of traditional upbeat Arabic songs at the beginning of the voyage - but in the middle they played "Blessed Be The Name" The wind was blowing and the waves were high enough to hit the side of the boat and spray water on your face. Looking around at same mountanous view around the Sea of Gallilee that Jesus looked at turned into a very powerful experience - "Blessed Be The Name" will never be the same song for me ever !!! - I cried like a baby...again - Guess which song we will probably do Sunday Morning!!
Flags on the boat


Peter's house

Shores of the Sea of Gallilee



Church of Primacy - Peter's calling to ministry




Church of Multiplication - The rock is where jesus placed the baskets - notice the fish in the tile





Steps and path where Jesus walked in the temple of pan - yea cried here






Synagog like the one Jesus taught in







Church of Annunciation - Where Gabriel appeared to Mary






Yaku Faruc









Skipped breakfast to get a case study interview this morning with a nice old man named Yaku Faruk that owns a souvenir shop next to the hotel.
Walked to the church of the annunciation - the church is built on/around Joseph's family home.
Went to a Synagog like Jesus teached in
