| For sifting dirt for archeological finds |
On our way to Jerusalem we stopped at several famous spots, first the ancient town of Zippori that had streets, public buildings, houses, a theater, a central market, bathhouses, a synagogue and churches, and more from later periods. They had water channels, a reservoir, a tunnel, a pool - all the amenities of life back then.
 |
| John is walking on the street - you can see the ruts in the stone from wheels |
 |
| This place is known for its mosaics - they were incredible! |
 |
| Can you imagine walking on these floors every day? |
 |
| The designs were so lovely. |
 |
| This fellow still has bright eyes |
 |
| Never know what you'll run into... |
 |
| Or what you'll be glad you didn't run into... |
 |
| The most famous mosaic in Israel is lighted with a spotlight. |
 |
| She was indeed beautiful - "the Mona Lisa of Israel" |
 |
| Another mosaic near her is not nearly so detailed |
