We heard a song at church that I loved. Here's the chorus:
O Galilee, sweet Galilee,
Where Jesus loved so much to be,
O Galilee, blue Galilee,
Come sing thy song again to me.
It was such a wonderful time of the trip to study the life of Christ, visit so many places that He walked, and just relax by the sea. Here's a bunch of my photos! There are a few from later on too...

The Church of Annunciation had mosaics that were from countries all over the world. I took a picture of the one from Brazil for Tyler and Justin!

church on the Mount of BeatitudesGalilee was such a wonderful time of the trip! It was so touching to learn of my Savior and His ministry right where it all happened. Laying on on the beach was pretty fun too. :) Tomorrow we head to Jordan for four days! Then one more week in Jerusalem and I'm home. It's a little bittersweet. I hope all is well for everyone! I have had some other incredible experiences since returning from Galilee; hopefully I'll have time to blog about them later! I love you all!
