Nazareth, Caesarea, and Galilee

Here is a picture of what Galilee looked like when we first were driving there and saw it from on top of this mountain/hill.
On the way to Galilee we also stopped as Caesarea where Paul preached to Herod Agrippa. There are many ruins still there in the port city, including this Roman aqueduct that pales in comparison to the one in Segovia, but is cool because it's on the beach.
The last picture here is really cool too. During Christ's time, Nazareth was really small and there was a small spring where everyone would get water. The spring is still there and has now had a church built on top of it. So it was neat standing and drinking from the same spring that Joseph, Mary, and Jesus all would have drunk from. Also, orthodox Christians often travel to drink the water here thinking it will make them fertile. (weird).
