Taking a wooden boat across the Sea of Galilee was surreal! After we toured the Jesus Boat Museum we walked out and waited for the boat that we would ride across the Sea of Galilee. 
I think everyone on the trip had their favorite part of the trip or of Israel that just meant so much to them, for me it was the Sea of Galilee.
It was just so amazing–a word used over and over on this trip. I’m not sure if I can explain why exactly this was so meaningful to me. It just was. It was incredible!
Once on the water the American and Israeli flags were raised. I loved this.
It was a moment filled with so much emotion to sing our national anthem looking at both flags together. We pray for the peace of Israel!
Next we sang praises to God…on a wooden boat…on the Sea of Galilee. Someone pinch me! Was this real?
The views across the water as the sun went down were fantastic. Our day had been so jam packed walking and sight seeing. On the boat there was time for reflecting, just taking it in, resting and beholding the beauty.
Glory to God forever we sang. Amen!
After the boat ride we made it back to Kibbutz Haon Guest House and enjoyed another wonderful dinner in the dining room. And then we crashed. Hello jet lag! This was the end of our first full day of touring.
