Deb steps in the Jordan River
Shalom to our friends back home -
Again, please be re-assured that we our very safe and secure. Royal Caribbean would not risk the safety of over 3,400 passengers AND the tourism dollar is VERY welcome here.
We began our day in a comfortable motor coach to the village of Nazareth; the boyhood home of Jesus. Our guide, Moshe, is Russian-born, but very knowledgeable regarding the somewhat short history of Israel as country, but deep in Biblical history.
In Nazareth, we toured the Basilica of Annunciation - the sight where angel Gabriel spoke to the Virgin Mary announcing the coming of our Lord.
We drove a little farther east to the Sea of Galilee; to almost the spot where the River Jordan meets the Sea and where John baptized Jesus. It is all very surreal...
After a traditional lunch of fish (the whole one complete with eyeball) we boarded a wooden vessel and sailed across the sea to Caperneum. This area, combined with Tag bu is where Jesus and many disciples performed acts of miracles; specifically the Multiplication of the loaves & fish!
St. Peter is also revered is this area as the next leader and Saint.
Agriculture is the next largest form of the economy with Olive tree and by product exports.
"Arise, walk through the length and breadth of the land, for unto you I give it" GEN. 13,17
Good day from your weary travelers,
Dh
