Lots of Tiyulim

In Hebrew, this means trips, or hikes, and it’s how we’ve spent the last two Thursdays. We’ve spent time in Lachish (a major city in the Kingdom of Judea, under King Rehavam), Tel Meggido (an ancient site known for it’s importance in trade, because of its proximity to Egypt and Assyria, but also, according to the Book of Revelations, is where Armageddon is said to take place), and Caesarea (a beatiful, ancient port city, which flourished under the Romans in the Byzantine period). Okay, that’s enough history. There was plenty of sunblock, sweat, pit stops for ice cream, and some pretty unbelievable views.
