Last week Larry and I spent the week traveling here and there in Israel to many places not easily accessible to a tour group. Friday afternoon I dropped Larry in Nazareth where he would spent the night and begin the next morning walking the five-day jaunt on the Jesus Trail from Nazareth to Capernaum and Bethsaida.
He tells about the beginning in Nazareth here. He reports on finding the Roman Road earlier on Friday, May 13 here.
The events of Saturday, May 14, from Nazareth through Sepphoris (Zippori) to Cana of Galilee, is recorded here.
Day 2 (May 15) of the journey from Cana (Kefr Kanna) of Galilee to Ilaniya is recounted here. He includes photos of flowers and butterflies that he saw along the way, and records his encounter with three vicious-appearing sheep dogs.
By the time you look at these blogs you will be ready to continue following the rest of the journey without any notification from me.
I am taking the liberty to include two of Larry’s many photos to entice you to take a look at his blog. The first shows one of the beautiful butterflies on a thistle bloom. There are several varieties of thistles (or briers) mentioned in the Bible. (If I am wrong about this, I know one of our readers who will send the correct information.)

This is where Larry spent the second night of his “Third Journey.”

No matter how “primitive” our accommodations may be, we are reminded of Jesus’ statement about his own situation on earth:
Jesus said to him, “The foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.” (Matthew 8:20 NAU)
Here is a self-photo of Ferrell (l) and Larry (r) on the Roman Road near Golani Junction.
