Susita/Hippos. Roman city approx 200bc. First pagan & then Christian. An interesting excavation site on the edge of the Golan Heights. Jane was enthralled & found many pottery shards & some Roman glass pieces. Shelley has already discovered the thrill of finding old Roman and other relics. It was a good hike up into this place, the heat was extreme & Zebadiah had no problems, walking the whole way on his mother's or his Aunty Shells or his cousin Mia's back in his little pack. Didn't he do well!
A pic of a date palm plantation, loaded with unripe dates. Personally I am not a date fan but these here when ripe are absolutely delicious. The horticulture is so diverse huge covered bananas plantations, mangos and other crops. This is an area just below the Golan on the fertile shores of the Galilee
Whoops again title should read Golan heights
