More pics from Mary's trip to the Holy Land




After leaving Spring of Harod we continued down the Jezreel Valley to the ancient city of Bet She'am. Please join me in looking at these pictures, as I walked through the remarkable restoration of the Roman ruins, that sit in the shadow of the hill where the Philistines once displayed the bodies of King Saul and his sons.Bet She'am was one of my favorite places, that I could not help but to take a lot of pictures. I find this area so hard to just pic a few pictures to show you, and I'm sure you will see why.

There is no way we could ever have ruins like that here that are preserved. We bulldoze and pave over everything we can. Its jsut amazing that all this is still there after all these years.
