Hey, guys. So, Rhoda and I just randomly stopped by
the Sea of Galilee on our way,
and we noticed this place by Capernaum.
And it had a turn left, and we never took it before,
and so this time we decided to take it.
And there is a gate and some kind of hostel
or some kind of Christian compound.
And there is a guard and he says:
Yeah, you can walk in and you can walk by the water.
There is a beautiful walk.
So, he let us in and we just started taking it,
and it is absolutely beautiful.
It is so gorgeous.
We've never been here.
This is one of the most beautiful places we've been at at the Sea of Galilee,
and we just want to show it to you.
Okay. So, this is the start of it.
(Rhoda) This looks like a hidden gem.
It does, right?
- We've never been here before. - No.
- It looks pretty. - It's very pretty.
- Wow! - Whoa!
Look at that!
- (Sergio) Oh! - (Rhoda) Ah!
Isn't this the clearest, most beautiful part you have ever seen?
- (Sergio) Yeah. - Wow!
(Sergio) (softly) Wow.
Wow. It is so fresh.
It's so wonderful. It even tastes nice.
Ah.
I just feel like going swimming.
(Rhoda) Of course you do.
Let's keep going and check out what this path has for us.
Let's go. Mm-hmm.
♪ (music) ♪
(birds chirping)
(Sergio) Oh, there's a little bird here?
What are those? Ducks or something.
Wow!
(water lapping)
(Sergio) That is so beautiful. So peaceful too.
One of the most beautiful places
on the Galilee Lake that I've ever seen.
And we've never been here before.
Yeah. It's so peaceful and so quiet.
(Rhoda) We've passed it by so many times and we've never been here.
(Sergio) It's so quiet and so peaceful.
- (Rhoda) The water is just beautiful. - (Sergio) Wow. Wow.
Hey, you wanna keep going?
- Yeah. Let's walk over there. - Yeah.
(Rhoda) Oh. Be careful.
Look at this rock.
(Sergio) Oh, and there's a nice cross, look at that.
- (Rhoda) And there's a bench. - (Sergio) Yeah.
(Rhoda) Whoa. That's pretty to sit in the morning and have coffee
and read the Bible.
(birds calling)
Look at those palm trees
because the water had receded, and so these probably palms grew.
(Sergio) Yeah. Probably before they were on the shore.
And now there's plenty more water.
(Sergio) Yeah. Out in the water.
So, this is like a hotel, I suppose,
where pilgrims can come and stay.
Yeah. That's what it is.
(Rhoda) Hey. it's pretty.
- Look. It's made out of that old stone. - (Sergio) Wow, it's beautiful.
And look at the view they have. Oh.
- Babe. - Yeah.
- That's an old wall. - Wow, you're right.
Hey, we should look into records what was found here in excavations.
(Rhoda) Yeah. Yeah, that's cool.
(Sergio) And in the records, looked we have.
This hotel, which is called the Tabgha Pilgerhaus,
appears to be located just feet away from the ancient Tabgha,
a place traditionally accepted as the site of the miracle of Jesus
where He multiplied the loaves and the fish.
And it is also believed to be one of the places He appeared
after His resurrection, as mentioned in John chapter 21.
And, besides that,
this whole area is full of 4th century Byzantine remains
that can still be seen standing above ground today.
But, not only that.
To the east of the Pilgerhaus
are remains of what is believed to be the ancient biblical city of Kinneret,
where artifacts were found dating even to the time of King David.
So, in a way, this place sits on a treasure trove of history
right in between two very significant and historic sites.
- (Rhoda) There's one. - (Sergio) Wow.
And this wall just keeps on going.
Wow. I feel like coming and just staying here in one of the rooms.
- Yeah. Yes. Yes. - And in the mornings,
you walk out here for some prayer time, some Bible and quiet.
Wow. And it even looks like at night they have these lamps
that are probably gonna look very pretty
on a night walk or a night hike.
Oh, and look at this walk how beautiful.
Yeah. With all the trees, it's like an arc.
It makes you think about Jesus walking here in the time, doesn't it?
- (Rhoda) And He could have. - (Sergio) He could have.
- He couldn't have. It's a Tabgha. - (Rhoda) He definitely could have.
- It's next to Capernaum. - Yeah, next to Capernaum.
And this could have been the path.
(Sergio) We're just a few miles from Capernaum.
- Look how beautiful this is.
It's so mysterious.
Because the trees are growing out of the water.
Mm-hmm. Yeah.
(gasps) Bamboo!
(Sergio) No way.
I have never seen bamboo yet in Israel.
Finally...
the first bamboo we spot in Israel.
This is so cool.
That is definitely bamboo.
(Sergio) Whoa.
It's exciting for us to see bamboo because we don't see it in Israel very much.
We see it in the tropics and Florida.
But, here, in Israel? This is so cool.
(Rhoda) It reminds me of Charlie's house.
- (Sergio) Charlie's house? Yeah?
- (Sergio) Hey. Yeah. - (Rhoda) Ooh, look.
Look at these trunks.
- Whoa, yeah.
What is this tree? Wow!
Look, it has those little things that grow on it.
(Sergio) Mm-hmm.
Hey, look at this.
- (Sergio) You can have an altar. - (Rhoda) Communion.
(Sergio) Communion. Hey, look at this.
- We're coming to the end of the path... - Uh-huh.
and there is just a dead end with a big, giant boulder.
- It's pretty cool. - Wait. It's not a dead end.
There is a...
sign for a hike.
- (Sergio) It goes past it? - (Rhoda) That goes past it.
I think you go through. There's, look, a path.
(Sergio) So, I see the sign right there.
- (Rhoda) Yeah. - (Sergio) It does say it keeps going.
It does look plausible. (groans)
- Wow. This thing is... - (Rhoda) Be careful.
(Sergio) Oh, my. Like snakes or something?
No.
Yes, it does go through, Babe!
That is so cool!
The path continues.
Wow. Ow, ow, ow!
Wow, we've got to do that one time.
- Yeah. We gotta. - Right?
And go there, and see where it leads.
We need mosquito spray. You need mosquito spray.
- You're getting eaten alive, huh? - Yep.
(Sergio) All right. Well, let's just say our goodbyes.
Okay. We sure hope you enjoyed this little walk.
- Mm-hmm. - There is some archaeology here.
I'm not sure what it is.
- Next time we're gonna make research. - Research, yeah.
We just stopped by randomly on our way, and it's beautiful.
I highly recommend to check out this hotel.
Link in the description below.
If you ever get here, we don't know how the rooms are.
We can't vouch for that,
but we can definitely vouch for this beautiful,
- Atmosphere. - peaceful atmosphere and walk.
(Rhoda) Yeah, yeah. Absolutely.
It's such a blessing. Such a nice coincidence.
- A nice surprise. - (Sergio) Yeah. Yeah.
Well, we wish you all blessings in our Lord Jesus.
May you have a wonderful day, rest of the week.
And we sure hope to see you soon in our videos
as we start releasing them.
- Yes. - God bless.
Until next time.
- The best is yet to come. - Amen.
Let's try to skip a rock, but I need a good one.
Ooh, this is not bad.
This is not bad. It's not the best...
(Rhoda) Okay, let's try.
but it might work. Ready?
I think I might have broke a few branches off.
Let's try a smaller rock.
- (Rhoda) There's one.
Yeah, that's not bad at all. Let's try it.
Okay. It's all about aiming.
It's all about aiming.
Whoa, look at this rock!
- (Rhoda) Wow.
I'll call this the pizza rock, but look how flat it is.
It's perfectly flat. Okay, that's not...
natural.
- (Rhoda) Wow!
(Rhoda) Good job.
