I must say that I'm getting to the point of over mind-saturation. Things are starting to blur...especially when we see a number of sites in one day. It's interesting to be up the the Northern part of Israel as it is so much more lovely and much greener and wetter. We visited the site called The Mount of Beatitudes. It also has a church on the spot with lovely gardens and a church. I just included a pic of the high windows in the church which each have a beatitude written. The pics with the black triangle (which was the top of a synagogue) and the seat (which is a "bema" seat where judgments would be made) are from Korazim...another of the cities Christ cursed.
We also took a favorite hike down Mt. Arbel. The top portion only has metal loops drilled into the rock and guide wires to hold on to...super great fun, but a smidge scary. :) You can see what look like caves in the hillside where Jews hid out from Herod.
The last pic is when we were at the Jordan River...gotta sign off now...no more internet
