Day seven in Israel.

Day seven we were on the bus at seven a.m. Today we weren't going to be coming back to Jerusalem for the night, we were going to be staying in a Youth Hostel in Beersheva. It was a packed day, we went to Sataf National Park, Beth-Shemesh, Azekah, Lachish, Askelon where we went to the Mediterranean Sea, and then to Beersheva for the night. Here are some pictures.


This is where Samson grew up. We are at Beth-Shemesh looking across the Sorek Valley. They have dug up lots of pottery that is 1600 years old, I took a piece home with me.

This is Dad pointing to the Elah Valley where David and Goliath fought.

This is the Sataf National Park in the Sorek Canyon (west of Jerusalem). We walked down to the ruins you see on the right and then down some more, and of course we had to walk all the way back up!
