Our hotel in Galilee, May 19, 2019

I think the main reason I liked the Galilee area so much is because I could really see Jesus here. Picturing him in all the gospel stories taking place in Galilee was easy. Maybe this is why the Holy Land is called the fifth gospel. 

However, in the spirit of full disclosure, I should say that Tiberias, the city in Galilee where we lodged, is considered a resort area by the Israelis, and so there was that, too. We stayed in this lovely, lakefront hotel, Gai Beach. 

The temperatures during our pilgrimage ranged from 75-90 plus.

We had lovely views from the hotel.

Gai Beach accommodated a lot of groups. The hotel had a large dining room on the lower level and a spacious lobby pictured above.

We were up early and then gone all day, so we didn't spend much time at the hotel. But it was a very comfortable place to return to.

We did have a couple evenings where we were able to enjoy a glass of wine, looking over the lake, as we talked about all the awesome places we visited that day.
