Day 6
Today we started  off  with a simple  breakfast of a boiled egg, pastry with sesame seeds and two kinds of cheese, a small pancake and fruit.  Double Espresso  yum!!

In the bus and off to Tabgah, the church built on  the  site of traditionally Jesus multiplied  the loaves and fishes  to feed 5,000 men 12,000 total.  The alabaster  windows  were a sight to behold - especially since the alabaster  was tinged with a yellow and brown mineral causing a beautiful glow  in the simple Franciscan church.
A short walk and we were at the church  of the Primacy  of Peter where after the  resurrection, Jesus  asked Peter the 3 - part  question, "Peter, do you  love  me"?   The church is built over the sight where they had the meal Jesus  cooked the  breakfast  of fish.  153 fish were caught after an unsuccessful  night of fishing.  153 is a perfect number  in Hebrew  numerology.
