Day 7: Mount of Beatitudes - Capernaum - John 21 "The Primacy of Peter"

Day 7! From Nazareth, Jesus' native place, to the Sea of Galilee.  We traveled by coach from 500 m above sea level and dropped now (-) 200 m below sea level to the Sea of Galilee...

Thus far...

5:30 AM:  Men arose once again to pay a visit to the site of the Annunciation.  Such an incredible place of prayer!  Again - being the low of the lowest season for pilgrim traffic - the men from our group found the Basilica Church and the Grotto of the Annunciation to be very very quiet!
