Day twelve in Israel.

Day twelve, we were on the bus at 7:00 a.m. Today we would go to Ceasarea, an aquaduct on the beach, Mt. Carmel and Megiddo. We wouldn't be returning to our hotel in Jerusalem that night, we would stay in a holiday resort in En Gedi, right on the eastern shore of the Sea of Galilee.



This is a tomb that was on the side of the road. These were reasonably common around Israel.

This picture is self-explanatory.

We went to Caesarea, a palace right on the Mediterranean that Herod built and named it after his boss, Ceasar. I am standing on a fake chariot which is located on the hippodrome (chariot racing track).

Me on top of a smaller aquaduct.

An aquaduct that Herod built. This was probably the most amazing thing that day. It stretched on and on.

This is on Mt. Carmel (where Elijah challenged the prophets of Baal). We all found a seat on the rocks on the edge of the mountain, we had an amazing view. The man in the picture was our guide, Dr. Wright.

This is on Megiddo looking out towards Nazareth. You can see Nazareth, its the town on top of the range of hills.
