Wow another full day of site seeing. Today we had a great tour guide that didn't need to talk as much as yesterday's. We departed early once again and travel to Nazareth seeing a lot of fertile grounds. We traveled thru the Jezre' el valley on our way to the childhood home of Jesus and the city of Annunciation, Nazareth is revered as the spot where the angle Gabriel appeared to Mary, telling her that at her of she would bear the Son Of God. We went into the Church of Annunciation built on the site where Mary is said to have lived and where she received Gabriel's message. We also saw the church of Joseph dedicated to the Father of Jesus, where his carpentry workshop was to have stood. We drove around the Cana where Jesus performed his 1st miracle turning water into wine at a wedding. We went to the Yardenit site where baptismal sites were performed on the Jordan river. We had lunch at a gorgeous spot in a nice hotel on the Sea of Galilee. The beaches right now are full of holiday makers with their tents and barbeque's. Just like the western world filling the beaches. Our last visit was to a church to the Mount of Beatitudes where Jesus gave his sermon on the Mont and to the ancient synagogue where Jesus taught.
