Kinnaret

I'm at the sea of Galilee/ Lake Kinnaret, had a mostly uneventful hike to this point. Currently staying with an awesome trail angel named Micky, he's really knowledgeable on a ton of subjects and friends with the guy who wrote the Israel National Trail guidebook. Previously I ran into an Arab Christian family, Noel and Bshara and everyone were super kind and very concerned that I planned to camp around Nazareth. They let me stay at their place which was great because it dumped buckets of rain and I was pretty much drenched. I'm starting to encounter more hikers going south, this is the season after all. I'll be celebrating my Birthday at a pub in Ginosar today, so I gotta get moving.

Although rare, green tunnels do exist in Israel.

This is the Monks Mill, it's an old Grain mill the Vatican rents out to locals.

I'm seeing more and more cattle, plus these calves are adorable, almost makes me feel bad about wanting a cheeseburger, almost.
