Walking Where He Walked - Day 5 in Israel

Our first 4 days have been based in Jerusalem.  Today we headed to the Galilee.  You will notice a definite change in geography and energy.  The Galilee seems very relaxing compared to the hustle and bustle of Jerusalem.  And we stay at a very isolated seashore resort right on the eastern shore of the Sea of Galilee.  Check it out.  http://www.eingev.com/

Here's our itinerary for day 5:

1- We started day 5 by hopping on the bus and heading north.  Our first stop was Sepphoris, a city never mentioned in the Bible, but with some fun connections to Jesus and his years in Nazareth before his public ministry was launched.  This stop gives us a great look into the urban culture that Jesus incorporated into his teaching.

2- Our second stop is at a place called Nazareth village.  Here we see what life in Nazareth would have looked like for Jesus as he was growing up.  This is a stop with great photo opportunities.

3- Our third stop is on the Nazareth Precipice which overlooks the Jezreel Valley.  Fantastic views of many locations where events from both Testaments happened.  This is part of the Via Maris, the international highway that stretched from Mesopotamia to Egypt.
