We the tired and weary pilgrims arrived in Tel Aviv 24 hours after leaving LA. There are 35 in all, including John Conrad and Dominic Barrington the leaders of the group.
We had a two hour layover at O'Hare and 4 Hours at Heathrow. I felt like I ate my way across the world.
When we arrived we boarded a bus for Tabgha on the shore of Lake Galilee. We are staying at a place called Pilger Haus which was founded in 1889 as a Roman Catholic retreat center; which it still is.
On the way on the bus I could not help but think about where I was. Were the houses on the sides of the highway Israeli or Palestinian?
Tomorrow we are off to Mt. Tabor at 8:30. It is 11:10PM now so I better get off to bed. More tomorrow.
Much love,
Fr. David

This is great David. I used a little bit of the Capernaum story for my sermon tomorrow! Chris
