Herodian

So we want to make it to the Herodian this day, but it's too far to walk, so we take a taxi....

...but only after much haggling over the price on the phone with someone who can speak English

walking up the hill to this fortress Herod built

with the typical view in this area - stony ground and stony houses

This was the day Shannon received two comments about being a teenager.  Really.

We are nearing the end of our last day in Israel
