Chilling in Galilee, land of Jesus

So i have been in Galilee for a couple of days now, but its been hard to blog since the internet service isnt that great here in the Kabutz. I have a little apartment like that is right on the sea of Galilee and it is gorgeous. We are able to go around the different areas surronding the sea of Galilee and study the miracles and teachings Christ did here, and it has helped alot with connecting the stories to the places. I really enjoyed the boat ride our class took out in the sea and learn more about the New Testament stories that took place, like how Christ came to his apostles on a stormy sea to comfort and guide them. I have really enjoyed my time here because it has helped imensly on understanding who Christ was as a man walking and healing others in this area and to see the views that he might have seen, and stand int the Sea that he stood in thousand years ago.
Its been great to have more thinking and pondering time here. Every other day we are taking field trips and on the other days we have class for about 3 hours and then rest of the day is free to study, read or even go play in the water. I really enjoyed just laying out and trying to get some sun on my white skin, thanks to Idaho, but thats ok I am getting the sun and that is what matters.
Another fun thing, is at night some of us girls get together and watch a movie in the double twin size bed on our next door neighbors. Last night we watched "Return to Me" and had at least 9 girls on the bed, and it was a blast. I really like these types of sleepovers because I am able to go back to my bed and sleep comfortably while still getting the girl time in that is required for sleepovers.
I will try to upload pictures and write a little about each place, but dont hold me to it...
