The most exciting event of the day was a boat ride on the Sea of Galilee. Our hotel in Tiberias sits on the shores of the Galilee, but this evening was my first opportunity to look at the water from closer than our dining room window. Unique from many sites throughout Israel, the Sea of Galilee does not mark a ‘traditional site’ of where Jesus is assumed to have visited. We know absolutely from Biblical texts that this is the exact spot where Jesus walked on water and taught multitudes of people on shore during his years of ministry on earth. Floating on a boat in the middle of the very Sea where Jesus had been, and looking out over the misty waters, imagining a boat carrying the 12 disciples, was truly an awe inspiring experience.
