Western and Central Galile - January 14, 2009

Wednesday, January 13


What a day! We began our day at the Kibbutz Hotel where we spent the night in Gesher Hazir near Nahariyah. Today we headed out to Western and Central Galilee after devotions and a hearty breakfast.


We visted excavation sites in Zippori where Joseph the carpenter may have traded and where a synagoue was discovered from the period of the Roman occupation. We visited two sites where Mary may have received the news of the Annunciation from the angel Gabriel, and the Church of the Annunciation. We lunched at Nazaeth Village, a recreation of first century Nazareth. There was a stunning view of Mt. Tabor from the Cliff of Arbel, and other sites as we wound our way toward the Ron Beach hotel in Tiberias.


This has been a day to remember!
