City of Tiberius, a resort town on the lake. It's named after the Roman emperor during whose times it was constructed. And it's still going strong.
This is the Church of the Beatitudes - commemorating the spot where the Sermon on the Mount was given.
This is the ruins of the city of Capernaum. It's where Simon Peter lived before he became St Peter. The foundations are bases of fishermen's houses from 2000 years ago. The big structure on the right is a church that they've put up above the foundation of what they believe is actual house of Simon Peter.
Capernaum was a Roman village, and this plaza shows it:
The fishermen's houses were really small. I think they are smaller than my office!
Cool tree on the banks of Lake Kinneret.
Tourist ships made to look like ancient fishing boats plow the lake.
And this is the real thing. This fishing boat was found on the banks of the lake when it was especially low. It was dated to 1st Century AD - right around the New Testament times.
It actually is a real fishing boat. It is made from 12 different kinds of wood!
The literacy rate among kingfishers is not too high.
Caught it at the right moment!
Residents of the Hula Lake:
I always wondered where it was....
