Nazareth and the Sea of Galilee

Israel was just an absolutely amazing and beautiful place! The people were extremely friendly, the culture is strong and the country was just spectacular. One thing that I thought was Interesting about most of Israel was that any place that might be important to the life of Jesus there is a church built over the site so there are many churches all over the place. These pictures are of Nazareth and the area of the Sea of Galilee. 

Kinda funny that this was right next door to a church.

This is said to be where Mary was told she was pregnant with Jesus

The Mount of Transfiguration 

Sea of Galilee

Theses pics don't give justice to how big the sea of Galilee actually is.

Well what can I say.... a monk gotta smoke?? lol 
This Synagog was built over the Synagog where Jesus prayed.
The picture underneath is from the top of the mount of beatitudes.

In the Jordan River there are lots of these river otters swimming around.
