Israel

First stop (after three days of sailing from Venice):

It was about an hour and a half drive to this spot:

the Sea of Galilee (which is actually a lake)

and

one of the traditional sites of the Mount of Beatitudes

I hadn't thought much about the "religious tourism" market, but it's alive and thriving!

blessed are those who don't...

"unkeep", awesome

a church built on the site

decipher these Beatitudes, if you can

overall, a beautiful site.
