THE SEA OF GALILEE. I'M STANDING BY THE SEA WITH MY MOM AND DAD.
A BOAT EXCURSION ON THE SEA OF GALILEE.
ISRAEL! AFTER 2:30HRS OF BORDER CHANGES AND CUSTOMS WE ARRIVED IN TIBERIUS. TIBERIUS IS NAMED AFTER THE EMPEROR OF ROME "TIBERIUS". IT IS NOW A RESORT CITY ON THE SEA OF GALILEE. IT WAS ORIGINALLY ESTABLISHED AROUND 20 AD. BY HEROD ANTIPAS, THE SON OF HEROD THE GREAT AND NAMED IN HONOR OF ANTIPAS.
ON OUR LAST DAY IN JORDAN WE WENT TO JERASH WHERE THE ROMANS BUILT A GREAT CITY. THIS ORNAMENTAL FOUNTAIN WAS CONSTRUCTED IN 191 AD AND DEDICATED TO THE NYMPHS. SUCH FOUNTAINS WERE COMMON IN ROMAN CITIES, AND PROVIDED A REFRESHING FOCAL POINT FOR THE CITY.
