The 'Angel' Sara - Arbel Guest House

Sara & Israel welcomed us to their lovely Guesthouse.Although,shattered we somehow kept talking about our experiences & backgrounds until about 1am.
James was taken to the Doctor by Sara.She spent the larger part of her day looking after James.When they returned from his Rabies injections (several hundred shekels poorer) we set of walking.At 2pm we headed for the Horns of Hittim.A rugged but beautiful walk.Nearby was the site where the Soldiers of the 3rd Crusade were trapped & dying of thirst when they faced Saladdin's Army & were defeated.
We had a phone number for accommodation in Cana.It turned out to be very difficult to get sorted out.We stayed 10 yards from The Wedding Church of Cana.The place was good but ridiculously expensive.
We had a modest breakfast thrown in.As we went into the Church we saw a Bride walking into her wedding - stunning (nearly as beautiful as a certain 'little person'.
We could not get into the Greek Orthodox Church as they were cleaning.
The walk from Cana to Nazareth was uneventful & boring as it was road all the way.
We arrived at the Greco-Roman Bath House to be greeted warmly by Elias & Martina.
Patsy,Thoams & James were as impressed as Paul had been a couple of years ago.
Thomas interviewed Martina.Paul 'guided' Patsy & James round Nazareth.Patsy made a donation (in dollars)& prayed in the White Mosque on behalf of her neighbours in Highfield,Keighley.
