We are in Galilee. I know why Jesus decided to stay here for 3 years. It’s gorgeous! Serene. I can imagine him working his way up from Nazareth (and we are quite a distance from Nazareth), finding the Sea and thinking “I think I will stay awhile.” I feel like I’m on vacation from a vacation. Amazingly the Galilee region is not built up much at all.
We started in Capernaum and saw the remains of Peter’s house where Jesus lived for 3 years. It is small ,and Peter, his wife, his mother-in-law, some kids and Jesus in it and wow! Tight quarters.
We went to the sight of the healing if the demoniac where the demons went into the swine and then to Bethsaida – the site of the healing of the blind man and the feeding of the 5,000.
For lunch we ate St. Peter’s fish – from the tilapia family. We are staying at a German retreat house. And I swam in the Sea of Galilee!
