On the Sea of Galilee

Yesterday was a long day, we got up really early and headed to Nazareth. We got to see the Church of Annunciation, which was a modern church built over Mary's cave. The church had gorgeous contemporary stained glass and mosaics of Mary from each country.

After the visiting the church we had a walking tour of the streets of Nazareth through the old souk and Mary's well.

Then we had about 2 hours in Tiberias, a seaside resort town. It had some bustling street stalls (Charlton and I got falafel and delicious strawberries) we also walked the boardwalk.

Next up another long bus ride to the Mount of Beatitudes and the Church of Bread and Fish where we had a long hike through some San Diego like hills.

Then off to Mt. Bernal (an IDF lookout point) where we had sweeping views of Jordan and Syria. Before checking into our hotel we stopped at the Golan Winery to taste some of their wines, yum! (Even though I don't drink)

Then we had a nice little dinner party in our MBA directors room where we all could get together and relax over great food. But again another early night as we have a packed day today!
