Our great little hotel in Tiberias, the Ron Beach, has its own boarding dock. I was delighted when I learned that the water level was high enough that this could be done. This morning we stepped out of our rooms and walked a few yards to boarded our boat for a ride on the Sea of Galilee.

After an orientation from the Sea, we visited major sites around the Sea of Galilee. These included the Roman Boat, Magdala (we actually entered the site, but were not allowed to make photos of the new excavations; it is not ready for tourist yet), Chorzain, Capernaum, the Mount of Beatitudes, the Cove of the Sower, Bethsaida/Geshur, Kursi, and a view of Hippos.
At Capernaum I waited with patience until I was able to get this photo of the interior of the 4th century (reconstructed) synagogue without a tourist in attendance. Not easy, I can tell you.

To my knowledge everyone in our group is well and enjoying this wonderful educational and spiritual experience.
