Sea of Galilee
We visited the museum which houses this Ancient Boat from the time of Jesus. During a drought some fishermen stumbled upon wood protruding out of the newly uncovered ground. They dug and realized it was a boat. With the help of experts, they uncovered the boat, covered it with foam to stabilize it, and floated it to a workshop. For 15 years it sat in a solution to harden the wood and now it can be seen along with a miniature replica at this museum.
We then ventured out on the Sea of Galilee (or Tiberias) for a memorable boat ride. We read scriptures about Jesus walking on water and calling Peter out of the boat - to act in faith. And we prayed for this faith!
