World Cruise 2013
After breakfast we left Jerusalem via the Judean Mountains and drove through the Sharon Valley to visit Nazareth and the Church of the Annunciation where angel Gabriel appeared to Mary and the boyhood home of Jesus. The Church of St Joseph was next door, the site of the carpentry shop of Jesus' father.
We then drove around the Sea of Galilee stopping at Capernaum, St Peter's village and observed baptisms in the Jordan River at Yardenit.
The highlight of the afternoon was our visit to the Mount of the Beatitudes where I was privileged to be chosen to read aloud the Beatitudes from the Book of Mathew.
Driving through Haifa to re-board our ship, we could see Mt Carmel overlooking the city.
Two fantastic days!!
