SEA OF GALILEE ADVENTURE
>> Monday, May 04, 2009
Galilee is the place where Jesus cured a blind man. Around sea of Galilee or it is called by here as Kenneret that looks a lake for me has many religious shrines and historical sites of interest in this city. This region was the home of Jesus during at least 30 years of his life. The first three Gospels of the New Testament are mainly an account of Jesus' public ministry in this province, particularly in the towns of Nazareth and Capernaum.Here, Jesus walked on the water (John 6:19-21), calmed a storm (Matt. 8:23-26), and showed the disciples miraculous catches of fish (Luke 5:1-8; John 21:1-6).
I'm totally crazy when I step on the boat ,I dont know why.We dance,shout,sing and picture taking the whole 45 minutes in this boat.Sorry but this is me and my reality where ever I go.I want to be thankful and be happy for places I'm visited.
I'm just trying to be.....but not nice ...okey lng at least I feel it.hihihihi
I'm holding the boat post to where all flags of all tourist from different countries having rides.Singing the national anthem and flag rising was very emotionaly felt of every one here.After that crazy dancing goes on.
Heading home after boat ride.You can see behind the new version of boat used by now of all tourists.
Building behind me is where you can find the ancient boat that Jesus used his time with the fisherman.The boat is made of 12 different types of wood and measures 25.5 ft. (8.2 m) long, 7.5 ft. (2.3 m) wide, and 4.1 ft (1.25 m) high. It would have had a crew of five (four rowers and a helmsman) and could carry about 15 additional persons. This seems like a lot for such a humble boat, but men were smaller 2,000 years ago — about 5'5" and 140 pounds.
