After Capernaum it was time for lunch at none other than St. Peters Fish Restaurant! No trip to Israel would be complete without a fish dinner! We then traveled a short bus ride up the hill to the
Mount of Beatitudes (click). Here is where Jesus in Matthew chapters 5 through 7 delivered his Sermon on the Mount. It's a beautiful park with a stunning Roman Catholic Franciscan Chapel as the main attraction. However the view down the slope to the Sea of Galilee is breath taking as well!

In Ginossar we visited the Jesus Boat Museum. The museum is operated by a
Kibbutz (click) in which the residents of the commune share everything and work as a member of a collective. The
Jesus Boat (click) is called such because it dates to the first century.
