first photo after turning my camera back on at mt of presipacetoday we had breakfast on the run from a bakery and headed straight to Nazareth I was the navigator and we did a little tour of Nazareth before getting into the nazareth village so we arrived 10min late but when we got there other groups were also late so it didnt seem to matter but it was full of tour groups and we had to really keep moving but as Pete would say it was a moving experience. we bought a bit of hebron glass here it was good prices hopefully we can get it home in one piece.
one thing that accured to me here is that a lot of the tools used 2000 yrs ago and probably 4000 yrs ago were still being used just over 100 yrs ago and it reminded me of the verse in daniel 12 v 4 "daniel shut up the words and seal the book till the time of the end many shall run to and fro and knowledge will be increase" we are definitely living in those times now men have never run around the world like today even the fact that we are here is proof and technology is going ahead

mt of presipice mtTabor in the background in leaps and bounds.
from here we went to the mt of precipice very close to Nazareth on the edge of town where the people of Nazareth tried to throw Jesus from after accusing him of blasphemy but he losed himself from them and made his way back to galilee.
the view from here is amazing you can see all the way down the Jezreel valley form mt Carmel to mt Gilboa where we were yesterday and mt Tabor to the left standing out like a beacon
after some lunch on mt of precipice bread with peanut-butter and honey, pastries and rockmellon. and some had olives, we headed back to tiberius this time skirting around Nazareth by accident.
one thing I hadn't thought of before is the number of Arab (Palestinian) settlements in Israel of which Nazareth is one, the world complains about Israeli settlements in the west Bank calling them illegal, but these Palestinians are happy to live inside Israel in a majority Arab settlement.
back to the annats house to get our bathers and then went to the hexagon pools just north of galilee but james and Laura stayed back it was a

mt of presipice looking towards carmel up the jezreel valley fairly strenuous walk down about 30min and pat turned back after a while but the rest pressed on and were rewarded by a refreshing pool of water surrounded by lush growth of trees and bushes and a very strange rock formation in the shape of long hexagon rocks all joined together, my camera has dried out and I am using it again so there are pics
after a long walk back up the hill we were greeted by Pat with ice-creams much appreciated and headed back to tiberius
steve and I found a boat and we hired it for 30min for 40 sheckles each so all 8 of us went out just before sunset and read some of the times Jesus went our onto the Galilee, as the moon rose in the sky steve expertly guided the boat back to the warf. and we walked along the boardwalk to a restaurant for dinner overlooking the sea of galilee
