Safe Haven

The third day of the Jesus trail was the longest day so far. We walked from the goat farm up the Horns of Hattimm which was an pretty intense hike but was well worth the incredible view. We caught our first glimpse of the sea of Galilee and that was really incredible! We could just see the corner of the Sea through Arbel (A mountain split in half by an earthquake). The hike down that mountain was pretty fun and we ended up at the Druze (Spelling?) Center. The Druze are a sect of the Muslim religion who borrow ideas from pretty much all the mono-thiestic religions. We had lunch here and filled our waters at this spring. We had ice cream. It was good :) Then the hike continued through the valley of the mountains, and MAN was it hot. At lunch, we were about 1km away from where we were staying BUT we walked about 5km through the valley to get to where we were staying. The last 20 minutes of the day was all uphill to get out of the valley to our destination. We were really hot and really tired. We were hoping that the place we were going was a good place to rest. Well my blog reading friends, let me tell you, this place was incredible! Let's see, did they have a pool? YES. Did they have Wifi? YES. Did they have nice showers? YES. Did they have AC and a 42" tv? YES. Also, this place had a restaurant on site, and we enjoyed an amazing dinner at the "Best Restauraunt in Tiberias." This place truly was a great place to relax and restore our bodies. You can definitely call it a "Safe Haven."
