Cruising on the Sea

Sorry for the delay in posting.  First, three of us did not get our luggage...and have been trying to get it delivered from JFK to Tel Aviv.  We had to take time out to hit the Big Fashion mall in Tiberius in order to get some clothes and sundries.  Finally, on Friday afternoon, our luggage was delivered!  Second, we have been having some struggles with technology, getting the wi-if to work to support posting the blog with pictures!  So, thanks for your patience....we think we have it figured out.

We spent the first day around the Sea of Galilee, where Jesus did his early ministry.  We visited the Mount of Beatitudes (where Jesus preached the Beatitudes), Tabgha (the place where Jesus turned 2 fish and 5 loaves of bread into a feast for thousands), and the Primacy of Peter (where Jesus fixed breakfast for his disciples on the shore).  We enjoyed a lunch of fish from the sea and then took a boat ride.  On the boat, we had a devotion about the story of Jesus calming the storm.  Luckily, there was no storm, but smooth sailing!

Stay tuned for more news from the Holy Land....
