Today (Sunday) and yesterday, we toured through the Galilee area and the Golan Heights. The Golan is an area in NE Israel that was captured from Syria during the 6 Day War in 1967, and that Syria has been anxious to get back ever since. Galilee, of course, is the area of Jesus' ministry, and we have seen the general area of the "multiplication," better known as "Feeding the 5000," the Mount of Beatitudes, Capernaum, Bethsaida, and Tiberias. We also visited Belvoir, a Crusader fort from 1187--astounding ruins! We have some great pictures to share, so please check Flickr (see link below) for all the labelled photos. Pictured above is the Mount of Beatitudes from the Sea of Galilee.
I only have a few minutes before they pull the plug on me at the hotel, so I'll keep this short. We're leaving the north for Jerusalem tomorrow, so maybe Debbie will add more then.
