This week we want to share a few photos from the Galilee region. This is a part of Israel where a guy named Jesus lived and breathed.
This is a photo of the valley of "Har Meggido" or Armageddon. In light of the historical battles and perhaps future battles that might take place here, I thought this sign was well placed.
This mosaic is found in the "Church of the Loaves and the Fish" which is the traditional site of the miracle of Jesus. This church is from the 5th century AD.
This is a photo of the Jordan river on the south side of the Sea of Galilee. This is where hundreds of tourists come to be baptized in the Jordan but does not seem to be the location where Jesus was baptized.
These are the ruins from the ancient town of Capernaum where Jesus and many of the disciples lived. These are the remains that date to the time of Christ. Pieces of what is reported to be Peter's house, the synagoge from that time, and other houses on that street still remain today.
This is a view of the east side of the lake. On this side we find the likely location of Gardenes where Jesus sent some demons into a herd of pigs.
This is a 2000 year old fishing boat found in the mud in the Sea of Galilee. This is likely the same style boat used by fishermen during the time of Christ. In case you are wondering, the aluminum support beams are not original.
With views like this, I don't blame Jesus for spending his time in the land of Galilee.

That picture is breathtaking, I am sure being there in person it must be amazing...Your right with a view like that I would spend my time there too!! Don't go anywhere without that camera. You could possible get a pic of G Dub's ear nose or the top of his head even. or you can take a pic of his entourage and we can play Wheres G Dub? Oh, I am sure Sara can't hear the kids, especially with those ear plugs. What a smart cookie! It is good for you! The NO SLEEP THING not being sick. Well, I hope you all get better SOON.
