Dancing on the Sea of Galilee
14. August 2015
This morning it was 7:30, when some of us got up in order to go swimming in the lake (Galilee). Breakfast was at 9:00, after that we had free time so all the Germans went to the lake again and the Palestinians played cards near by the pool.
We helped preparing sandwiches for lunch, then we prepared ourselves to leave Tabgha. Everyone was looking forward to go to the boat where we all together had lots of fun like dancing and laughing. After that we visited three churches which were very interesting and we got to know more about the life of Jesus and Palestine. First we joined the Church of Multiplication which impressed us a lot since it was burnt by fundamental settlers two months ago.
Our next stop took us to the Mountain of Beatitudes, there we had lunch and talked to a Sister from Iraq, who asked us to pray for her and peace.
Our journey back to Talitha Kumi took us about two and a half hours. When we arrived there we had dinner and afterwards we sat together in a small meeting then we had free time.For the rest of the evening, some of us went to play basketball and the others told stories and some of them sang.
Today we sadly realised that there are just 3 days left and time goes by too quickly!
