The Galilee, as the locals call it, is made up of rolling hills and valleys covered with low, arid bushes and plants (most of which have thorns) and “forests” with unique varieties of somewhat familiar trees. Our weather continues to be “cool” in low to mid 80’s, passing showers and welcomed cloud cover. Our trail took us past a military installation, patches of prickly pear cacti, a McDonalds (that was empty as it’s still Ramadan-great time of talking with a local), and a Roman road in rough shape. The belief is that this particular Roman road almost certainly bore Jesus’ steps given its east to west orientation between Nazareth and the Sea of Galilee.
Tonight our lodging is a hotel (complete with a pool and hair dryer!) run by a Jewish Kibbutz (communal living center that is the largest producer of synagogue furniture).
By the way, for those at Watauga who heard me talking...UPS brought Jackson’s hat at 5:47pm and we left for PA at 6:10pm :)
