		The front is toward the southeast, and almost the entire lake, with its surrounding hills, is in view, while every breeze that blows from land or water sweeps freely over it, and the waves are forever breaking on the blocks of basalt that line the shore.
		From the spot which we identify as Bethsaida, around the head of the lake to the mouth of the upper Jordan, is about two miles, the path leading along a plain between the hills and the water, which varies in width from 50 to 200 yards and is adorned with many clumps of oleanders.
