Well. Tonight is the last night in Tiberias. It has been quite a town. We (Wiehann is still traveling with me) ... we climbed the Mt. of Beatitudes ... saw the ruins -quite extensive - at Capernaum...spent Shabbat hanging out at the beach with locals...bought some fishing line and some hooks ... and some pita bread ... and went fishing in the Sea of Galilee. lol.
Stopped and saw the "Ancient Galilee Boat" ... a fishing boat they discovered that dates back to the 1st Century C.E. ... ... which is old. ... haha... wow ... that was something.
We wandered around Qiryat Shmona for a couple hours waiting on some busses. Then we decided to just hitch-hike to Sanir ... which is this river that runs into the Jordan ... has a waterfall ... mostly a local place. That was fun. And refreshing after a hitch-hike in the Israeli heat. (smile).
Today we went to Kfar Blum (after going to Tel Hai to get a discount on the kiyaking - if anyone looks at a map ... it is ... pretty far north) ... but ya ... went to Kfar Blum and went kiyaking on the Jordan ... and the water was pretty quick lol ... ... and it was "lekka" (S. African word that has no English equivalant ... meaning amazingly, amazingly, amazingly great) lol ... yeah ... kiyaking ... on the Jordan ... definitely lekka. (smile).
So. Here's what you all really check this page for anyways ...

Ok. Well. Thank you guys for reading and caring and praying...and helping me to go. It's about halfway through my trip ... and it has been ... life changing ... and amazing ... and ... lekka. lol.
Thank you all.
Love you all.

Well, you continue to step places that I have stepped - been to Kfar Blum several times - not so far from Kiryat Shemona and that is where our cousin Harriet was when I was there. She married an Israeli and they ran a scuba diving snorkeling business in Eilat for years ... okay, now you will have to swim across the Kinneret - the Sea of Galilee ... not by yourself, though ... dad
