This last week we had the amazing opportunity to visit some of Israel's most beautiful sites. Our first stop along our journey south was Caesarea, an ancient port city on the Mediterranean built by Herod the Great. I will spare you the details, dates and meanings behind the sites we visited, as you could surely find them elsewhere. Besides, any world traveler knows the golden rule of story telling: never bore your audience with the details when all they really want is photos. So without further adieu (all photos courtesy of the talented Jay Zhang):
Like any good Roman settlement, it starts with an amphitheater...
...and a hippodrome...
...for chariot racing.
And what Roman would build a city without columns...
... to hold up the fancy marble work?
 And don't forget the aqueduct for fresh water... |
 ...and all this with a beautiful view by the sea. |
