We visit the town of Capernum - which is only ruins now. The dark stones at the base of the synagogue wall are from Jesus' time and the white stones are from the Byzantine times - 600-700 AD.

Jack and Mary Jagt are retired from the work of trading in natural rubber (Jack) and Intensive Care Nursing (Mary). They love to travel in their RV - nicknamed the Merrie Yacht. Recently moved from the home they raised their family in to a condo in a smaller town, they now have fewer home responsibilities and hope to be on the road more often.
