Day fourteen in Israel, Part Two.

Day fourteen, part two. On the bus at 7:30 again, and after we had gone on a boat on the Sea of Galilee, we went to Gergesa, Qazrin, the Jordan River, Capernaum, and we went for a walk down Arbel Mountain.


We found a crypt at Gergesa (sight of the demoniac in the tombs) that had a gate over it, but it wasn't locked so dad and I and some other guys went in. This is dad in a tomb. Notice the bones to the left of dad's shoulder.



This is Gergesa, some church remains.

Above is a reconstruction of a village that is similar to how a village would have been in the time of Jesus.


Dad and I with the Jordan River in the background. It was fairly warm that day which was nice.

Me standing on a bridge that goes over the Jordan River.

Capharnaum. This was where Peter lived and where Jesus often visited and stayed.


Dad by a statue of Peter, notice he has the keys.


This is on top of Mt. Arbel, the mountain that we would be walking down. Behind Dad is the Sea of Galilee.

This is what we walked down to get to our bus that was waiting at the bottom. This mountain was full of caves that we explored.

Hi Anna Marie,

I'm Ashlea's mom, and I have really appreciated seeing all your pictures from Israel. It must have been an amazing experience. Thanks for sharing.
