Capernaum, First Century Boat, Sea of Galilee, En Gev, Tabgha

Capernaum was Jesus' hometown. The synagogue that is currently standing was not where Jesus taught, but it was built on a basalt base which was probably part of the one where he did teach; very hard to believe that I am walking where he once lived and ministered.

We boarded a small boat near Tiberius and sailed across to Nof Ginosar where we got to see a first century boat that was probably the type of boat the disciples used for fishing.

 

From t he boat we loaded onto the bus and drove around the Sea of Galilee to En GeV where we had a "Peter's Lunch" which included a whole fish; head, tail, bones and all!
