Our time in the Galilee ended today, and what a way to finish. We climbed the Arbel for a final look at the entire region. The morning sky was clear blue, and we could see forever.
From the Arbel, we traveled to Sepphoris or Zippori. Excavations continue at the site, revealing more and more mosaics. Our discussion centered on the possibility of Joseph and Jesus working here. Nazareth is less than four miles away. Richard Batey offers a strong case for Jesus' presence here in his book, Sepphoris: the Forgotten City.
After a quick trip around Tel Megiddo, we ended the day at Caesarea Maritima. We explored all three sections of the city. As the sun was setting, we arrived at the aqueducts. Our timing could not have been better. It was the perfect ending of a perfect day.
Note: As you can see from the photo, I am relying on Todd Bolen's Pictorial Library of the Bible once again. I failed to bring my camera for this photo op.
