| A couple weeks ago we left the dry, rocky desert of Jerusalem behind and spent ten days in the green and lush lands of northern Israel, otherwise known as the Galilee. I don't have the best pictures from this trip, and definitely not pictures of everything we did. I'm a little pictured out with it being the end of the semester, but I hope you enjoy of taste of Galilee.  |

 |
| Latrines at Beth Shean |
 |
| The synagogue in Nazareth, the traditional synagogue that Jesus was rejected in when he claimed that he was the Son of God |
 |
| Our first look at the Sea of Galilee |
 |
| The boat that took us across the sea |

| "And with joy I shall make the blest harbor and rest on the blissful shore" |

| Capernaum |

| A spring we got to go swimming in after one of our field trips |
 |
| The ancient city of Dan |
 |
| The Nimrod Fortress, a Muslim fortress from the 13th century |
 |

| An overlook we went to. We could see the borders of Israel, Lebanon, and Syria from here. |
 |
| The Jordan River |
 |
| So, all around this baptismal site in the Jordan River were these plaques- with the verse in Mark in every language you can imagine, including this one. |
 |
| Mount Carmel |
