I thought a couple of maps might be helpful as the pilgrims are on a two-day field trip away from Jerusalem. The boat is floating on the Sea of Galilee - pretty gorgeous, huh?
The maps: find Jerusalem, a bit south, you will see Bethlehem, over the border into the militarized zone. Heading north from Jerusalem, you will see Nazareth. And on farther north, you will see the Sea of Galilee (remember it is really a lake). Pilgerhaus is situated at the northernmost tip of the Sea of Galilee. One can see the town of Tiberius from the seashore at Pilgerhaus. It is beautiful with twinkling lights at night.
Tomorrow, they get to go see Peter's home in Capernaum, visit the amazing Mount Tabor - the place of the Beatitudes (I think) and eat some St. Peter's fish.
