Photo Album of our Tour
to the Holyland
January 4-14, 1999
Photo 16
Here is a young fisherman demonstraing the art of throwing a delicate
net which is surrounded by leaded weights. It takes great skill to toss
the net in so as to have it form an inverted funnel which rapidly falls
downward, trapping the fish. On noon of this day, we had "St. Peter's fish"
for lunch, and it had a Schekel in its mouth! The fish was bony but very
delicious!
