It has been a week since we have returned from Galilee so I guess a blog post is necessary. It was a great 10 days and we spent our time touring around Northern Israel and working on our tans at the beach. WE stayed on a kibbutz called Ein Gev in 4 person bungalows that were right on the shore of the Sea (which I discovered is not a sea, but a lake). We had class/beach time every other day and then the other days we went on field trips. These included going to the Mt. of Beatitudes, Mt. Tabor, Mt. Carmel, Tiberias, Capernaum, Bathsaida, Gamla, Nazareth, etc., etc. Most of these field trips were either sites that were biblically significant or archaeologically significant. It was extremely hot and humid so it made for some great delirious bus rides and bonding times in between sites! Since my blog has pretty much just turned into a photo feast with very little writing, here are some pictures of some of these sites and a few other treats for your enjoyment!
