Matt 8:5: A Centurion came to Capernaum to ask Jesus to heal his servant with a word.
Peter's house. There is a building on top of it, probably a church but I didn't have time to go in it.

Mark 2:4: A paralytic was lowered by friends through the roof to be healed by Jesus.
Roman milestone=1000 legionary steps. Legionaries could impound anyone to carry their equipment for one mile.
Matt 5:41: If someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles.
Olive press. I haven't mentioned it yet, but there are cats EVERYWHERE.
