the final day

We are finishing our trip to Israel today - bitter sweet.

We spent the morning at Caesarea National Park in Caesarea, about an hour north of Tel Aviv. Here are the remains of Roman city built by King Herod in the time of Jesus. Herod built 8 palaces throughout Israel but this one was built on the water and was the largest man-made port in the world used for trade in ancient times.

We also saw the remains of a theatre which is still used today for outdoor concerts from June to October.

Also we saw a hippodrome used for chariot races with stadium seating and a box seat for the king himself.

After we enjoyed a wonderful lunch made by a world-renowned chef from Austria. Bon appetit!

We will be boarding for home soon and saying goodbye to Israel. It is truly an amazing country so I hope you will decide to join Ben Davy next November for the trip of a lifetime.

If you want to ask me any details you can email me at janice@lifeonline.fm and I will be happy to assist you. Shalom!
