May 13

We are so sorry that we don't have pictures. George is still not doing well, but was able to join in again on Monday. It was a full day and we are getting to the point where by the end of the day we have forgotten what happened at the beginning of the day. Yesterday we had a boat ride on the sea of Galilee. Hard to believe. We also ate a fish lunch, the common name of the fish is St. Peter fish. It was pretty good. It is also known as Talapia. We basically drove around the Sea of Galilee and saw all the different places where Jesus taught and lived. It was interesting to be on the sea shore where it is possible that Jesus asked Peter, "do you love me?" Sometimes still hard to imagine that we are actually in this place. Today we remember everywhere we were and it has been interesting to meet with people of the land again. Today we were at Ibillin which is mentioned in the book Blood Brothers. Unfortunately the author, whom we were to meet, is in America at this time, but it was still good. We also visited a kibbutz.
We are nearing the end and beginning to think about the next part of our journey.
Colleen, How was your birthday? and where are pictures of our grandsons? We miss you all.
