As it turned out, I had a very relaxing day to-day (Sunday). Plenty of people around. My clothing supply is declining, so I set about getting 5 cheap teeshirts and a pair of shorts. Then had an Israeli breakfast: scrambled egg, cheese, tuna, hot rolls and coffee. Being a creature of habit I returned to the same place this evening to eat. The afternoon became really hot; I had to seek refuge in my air conditioned hotel room. Ventured out again around 4 p.m. Went to the Bus Station to check out my bus for Nazareth on Friday. Spent the rest of the afternoon and early evening around the promenade; looking out on the Sea of Galilee; watching men fishing; watching the world pass by. There's a lot of people around to-day, mainly Jewish people on holidays. Most are secular Jews (men wear ordinary clothes and the skull-cap); some are Orthodox Jews: the men wear white shirts and black clothes, with white tassles from the belt. Going to the Benedictine Monastery at Tabgha to-morrow. It's in an isolated place (near Capernaum and the Mount of Beatitudes). So, unless I decide to come down to Tiberias some afternoon, there might not be a blog for the next 4/5 days. Sea of Galilee .... beautiful!
