Israel (Part 4) – Galilee

As part of my trip, I joined a multi-day tour of the Galilee region. The focus of the tour was on sites from the New Testament, since the Galilee was where much of Jesus’ ministry took place. The following few photos don’t really do it justice, but hopefully they give you a flavor of things.

Caesarea Maritima (Acts 23-25):

Boat ride on the Sea of Galilee:

Speaking of boats, in Ginosar there was displayed an ancient boat from the time of Jesus, probably similar to the kind he might have ridden on:

    Looking at that ancient boat and thinking of it out on the Sea in the middle of a storm makes me understand Peter freaking out in a very visceral way!
