MOUNT OF BEATITUDES: WHERE JESUS TOLD THE SERMON ON THE MT.
Craig being craig
Fireman Bill sat down on the Hill to catch a glimpse of Jesus
Panoramic view of the sea of Galilee from the Mt. of Beatitudes. You can see the natural amphitheater that would have made the acoustics perfect for Jesus.
An olive press: insert olives, roll stone, collect oil. Easier said than done.

TRADITIONAL SITE OF WHERE JESUS REINSTATED PETER
Somewhere along this beach Jesus lovingly cooked the disciples breakfast after the resurrection. Shortly after that he pulled Peter aside and helped him forgive himself for denying Jesus. One of my favorite stories in the Bible, and one of my fav. sites in Israel.

CAPERNAUM: WHERE PETER'S MOTHER-IN-LAW LIVED
excellently preserved synagogue
the city itself
A pillar commemorating its donation by one of John's descendants.
Inside the synagogue...basically a square room with seats in a circle so there was no "leader" per se, but a discussion oriented ministry.
The site where the pigs probably came a runnin after being filled with demons . . . few made it past the minefield I would guess. There are numerous graves in the hills behind as well as a traditional church site where the event is commemorated.
