Today we went to a number of places- Capernaum the place where St. Peter lived, the Mount of Beatitudes where Jesus delivered the Serman on the Mount, Tabgha where Jesus fed 5000 people with 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish. But by far the most amazing thing we saw today was when we went to the Kibbutz to look at a 2000 year old boat that was found at the bottom of the Sea of Galilee. It is said that this boat may have been used during the times of Jesus. Two brothers found the boat during a drought and many people around the country came to see the incredible boat.
It is interresting to me that the community came together to help preserve this boat. It didn't matter at that moment in time what religion or race everyone was. Their differences were put aside during the excavation of this boat that many had been hoping to find for quite some time.
