Hey guys, This post is by my mom. Enjoy! Love to all, Laura In Capernaum, we saw Peter’s mother-in-law's house - the one Jesus healed (Matthew 8:14-15) Afterward, we went on a boat ride on the Sea of Galilee. A little gecko watched our approach. Half-way across, they cut the motor to allow us to just have silence to contemplate the miracles of Jesus stilling the storm and walking on water (Matthew 8, 14; Mark 4, 6; John 6). Overlooking the Mount of Beatitudes I was excited to capture a shot of a beautiful bird, which I think is a white-throated kingfisher. Mount Arbel was the next stop. The caves were used during Great Revolt against Romans. They discovered coins to pay tax, like temple shekel coins, from Tyre in archeological excavation . This is the end of the Gospel Trail and Jesus' ministry around the Galilee area before going up to Jerusalem. A furry hyrax could only be seen through the zoom lens watching us as we left... Then we went back to the Kibbutz for dinner and a swim in the Sea of Galilee : )
