Our last day at our beautiful Sea of Galilee... I will definitely miss our cappuccinos for breakfast. Thankfully today’s journeys were very short and didn’t require much energy. I think as a group we were tired and wouldn’t have lasted for much longer. The first stop was a place called sephorrus… or maybe zipporus (the spellings always change), a large location with very clean bathrooms and a very weird movie on the history. my memories of this location are the mosaics everywhere and the dripping rain that hit us as we stood atop the citadel.
We made a very brief stop in Nazareth at the church of the annunciation where Mary was told she would give birth to the son of God. several different perspectives on Mary given from countries all over the world were displayed on the walls.
We stopped for lunch at maayan-harad where Gideon made his selection for the 300 man army. Well... it was God who made the selection because Gideon would have kept every man possible.
The last stop was Beth-Shan or scythopolis by its Decapolis name. This place was remarkable with its theater, bathhouses, and public latrines. There were columns and capitals everywhere and it seemed as if it was just one giant playground for us to run around on. In the theater, we could stand at the very top and the person on stage could talk in a normal voice and it was as if they were standing right next to you. So cool.
It felt so good to be back "home" on campus at the end of the day. One more day of rest, one more touring day, and one more test until we fly home.
