HIGH TIDE AT CAESAREA: Crashing Mediterranean Sea waves, the result of strong overnight winds, greeted the tour at the Roman port city of Caesarea, which drew “oohs” and “aahs” from archeological buffs as they toured the ancient amphitheater and grounds, crossed a 12-mile aqueduct built by Herod the Great, and viewed Herod’s remnants of Herod’s 2,000-year-old quarry.

BEST HOLY LAND SOUVENIR: While the majority of tour participants chose souvenirs of jewelry, olive wood, art, and books from shops such as Amber Gallery in the Sheraton Hotel in Tiberias, 17-year-old Garrot Kilbourne of Liberal, Kan., captured a small lizard at Caesarea which he named Herod.

THANK YOU FROM SOLDIERS: Several young Israeli soldiers dined with tour participants Tuesday night to thank them for their contributions to the Fellowship project which helps soldiers facing financial difficulties with basic needs such as clothing and scholarships.

DAY THREE’S ITINERARY: Wednesday will begin with a visit to a private bomb shelter, one of 2,000 shelters restored in a $10 million IFCJ project. Tour buses will then depart Tiberius for the Holy City of Jerusalem
