Wow we just got back from Galilee and I am still amazed of how beautiful it was and how much fun we had! It was so amazing going to all of the sites and seeing places that Christ had been. We went to church at a small chapel and that was really fun to meet some of the local members there. We had a lot of free time and spent most of it playing on the beach and in the sea. Our first night there, there was the most beautiful sunset and that got everyone so excited to stay there for 10 days! We had a massaging party and hung out on the beach every night and that was so nice just chillin' and hanging out with a bunch of really fun people! The Kibbutz we stayed at made a bonfire for us 3 different nights! That was so much fun!
One night we went to a fish restaurant and I got the St. Peter's fish.... everything included! It took a lot of courage to bite into that thing at first, but it was one of the tastiest things I've ever eaten!
Every time we got near a body of water, you were 100% sure to find us in it. It was really hot and humid there in Galilee so stepping into water was so refreshing! Thank you to our teacher who didn't get to impatient with us for wasting a lot of time playing in the water! haha. Now I can say I've been in the Mediterranean Sea!
One of the best days was when we went to Capernaum for an afternoon. Jesus spent most of his time there and performed most of his miracles there in Capernaum so it was so cool to walk around the excavations they have done and think about what it would've been like 2,000 years ago. They think they have found Peter's house (which is where Jesus stayed when he was in Capernaum). There was also a synagogue excavated and it is very likely that Christ taught in that synagogue!! So cool!!!
