Today is an off day. We spent the morning at the beach along the Mediterranean. We had breakfast at a beach hotel cafe and then ambled along the beach. It’s full of beautiful white sand and lots of little shells besides. We sat in the shade of a beach umbrella enjoying an iced coffee and visited with our very generous hostess. What a life for a boy from Iowa, South Dakota, Wisconsin.
I don’t know that Jesus walked these shores. The stories we have from his life place him some distance from here. He lived and ministered in the Galilee area: the villages, the hills, the valleys, among the shepherds, the vineyard drerssers, the shopkeepers, etc. Jerusalem too is far from the coast. Interesting that someone who lived in such a limited area should have such world-wide influence.
This afternoon left time for a nap. Nice! Tonight we go back to Jerusalem for the city at night.
