A while back, our family went to Masada (as Noah wrote about), the tall mountain where King Herod built his palace and fortress. This week we went to Caeserea, another place built by Herod except instead of a fortress, this was a port. A port city where people could live and where they brought in cargoes from Rome for the king. We went there to see all the ruins of the city. We saw tunnels, a horse racing track called a Hippodrome, an arena where men fought lions, parts of the city that had been destroyed, a palace, and all of this was right next to the Mediterranean sea. The whole time I wanted to go and swim. It was very fun there and I thought it was so cool that you could just walk around on all the ancient things. Noah and I had a lot of fun exploring. Caeserea was an awesome place and it was one of the highlights of the week.
