City of David caves

Here are the caves that we walked through in the city of david. These tunnels were built in order to get fresh spring water in times of battle so they did not have to leave their city in order to retrieve water. Brilliant people and amazing tunnels considering they did this without any heavy  machinery and in only 2 years. It was a great way to cool off and get away from the hot sun, unless you can't find your way out!

  3. I think I still remember that watering hole in the Golan, and the ferns they called Saroot shulamet (the hair of Shulamet ). That's great that you did meet Yak and Leah. They are close to my heart. I wish you could meet their three "kids" too.

    Are you in Turkey now?

    I'm in BC with Naomi. Fabulous Canadian Rockie Mtns. There too much to explore in this world for one lifetime.

    We are meeting your mom and dad and Emma this evening in Vancouver.

    continue to post when you can, the pics are great.
