galilee

i can't really think of words that would describe how great galilee was. i feel like it was every reason i wanted to do this study abroad. we studied christ's ministry where his ministry took place. i love galilee so much! 

this is an overlook of the sea of galilee (which is actually a lake) and we stayed in a kibbutz right on the shore. it was so beautiful. it kind of reminded me of bear lake. we took field trips to sites, had classes in a conference room, and had some free time to swim. some of the sites we went to were the mount of beatitudes, nazareth, capernum, the mount of transfiguration, and a lot of other places where christ taught. you cannot beat hanging out with friends, reading scriptures, in nazareth. 

taking a boat ride on the sea of galilee. professor harper on the right...he may be the best university teacher i've ever had. 

professor ludlow and family. i am going to miss them SO much. 

this is a 1st century boat that was found buried on the shore a few years ago!

desperate times, desperate measures. did you know you can sweat from your knees? there and a lot of other places i didn't know about till this summer. 

going to church at the branch in tiberias. the view is breathtaking! 

nightly hammock hang outs occurred. as well as, ahem...middle of the night swims. don't tell kent jackson or he'll have me on the next flight home. oh wait, i'm already scheduled on the next flight home! 4 days left. there are many mixed emotions here in jerusalem.
