(Rick and I at the entrance to the Ancient Ruins of Capernaum)
(At the most spectacular portion of the city, the "White Synagogue".)
Our next stop was the Ancient City of Capernaum, which is said to have been the home of the apostles Peter, Andrew, James, John and the tax collector Matthew.
Upon entering the village, we had to pay an admission fee, and I was also instructed to cover up as I was wearing a sleeveless sundress. I had brought a shawl as I knew there would be some places where I would have to do so, but let me tell you, this cold-lovin' girl, while doing as asked, was not overly cheerful about obligeing them as it was 35° C in the blistering sun.
We were really lucky to hit the village in between a few bus loads of tourist groups, so we had good chuncks of time when we could set our camera(s) up with the tripods and try to get a few pictures of us together. Our favorite part of the townwas the "White Synagogue". Built in the fourth or 5th century it is a stunning piece of antiquity.
