Fish for lunch

The fish was ugly, but tasted good.

St. Peter's fish. This was the kind of fish from the story in Matt 17. In this account the fish had swallowed a coin, which Peter used to pay the temple tax for Jesus and himself. The temple tax was required for all males over the age of 20. This gives you a different idea of how old the disciples would have been (only Jesus and Peter had to pay).

These dates were big and tasted very good.

The coffee was a different story. I didn't finish it.

Caves in the hillside of mount Tabor. The families of the zealots would hide in these caves. When Herod the Great came to Galilee he killed most of them by smoking them out and dropping them to the bottom.
