This was another place with lots of cool ruins. Jerel says "Caesarea is where we had that gross lunch." Herod built this city about 2000 years ago and named it after his ruler, Caesar. It is a really beautiful place right on the shore of the Mediterranean Sea. Caesarea is the place where Paul was questioned by Herod Agrippa who was "almost persuaded" to believe. Caesarea was occupied by Jews, then Christians, and then was completely destroyed by Muslims in the 6th century.There is a great restored theater in Caesarea and while we were there we read through Saul's speech to the king. After that we all looked around in the dust and gravel because there are still ancient pottery shards and coins just laying around. Jerel and I found nothing but trash, but some folks in our tour group found some cool pieces of pottery and coins.

what was the gross lunch?
The gross lunch was cold sub sandwiches with a drink of your choice and an ice cream bar of your choice. Only one of us thought it was gross.
uh sounds horrible. An ice cream bar what were they thinking. Next thing you know the drinks will be cold.
