Ahhhhhh. Sunday was a trip to the beach area of Caesarea (Stratos Tower, Herod's manmade port). Beautiful weather, beautiful water, interesting ruins (hippodrom where they used to have chariot races) and a theater with a seating capacity of 3500. According to Josephus, this is where the death of Herod Agrippa occurred, as recounted in Acts 12.
All very interesting and, if you use your imagination, you can see the immense vision of Herod in building this. Romans baths laid with artistic tile, remains of temples, etc.
Lunch was great. I've found some yummy cookies--shortbread-type with rich dark chocolate topping. Almost as good as Sheryl's pies!!!!
Love ya all!!
Oh how interesting. Keep'em coming Deborah! I love reading your updates.
