The Sea of Galilee was the place I looked forward to most due to its historical and biblical significance. It is Israel's only freshwater lake and the location where Jesus healed a leper, stilled a storm, walked on water, and met his disciples after his resurrection. Very powerful to drive along the shore and think about those events. Adam pulled over to allow me to swim with the daylight that remained. "No swimming" signs decorated the shore so I waded in the water instead. The warm water made for a peaceful, calming stop.

Clothing and food stands were scattered along litter filled streets in downtown Tiberias, a resort town overlooking the Sea. I planned our evening meal at a place called Peter's Fish. However, I decided not to make Adam walk around searching for the name of a restaurant I made up. We stopped to eat Shawarna per a street vendor’s suggestion. It tasted like a Gyro with turkey and humus instead of lamb and tzatziki sauce.

After the meal, lack of sleep caught up with me. I slept most of the way on the return to Haifa.
