I won't be posting for a while... I'll be off doing "story research" in far off places. I'm hoping to have some good pictures to share when I come back! For now, here are some pics from a previous trip! The Islamic fortress of Nimrud, a vast and labyrinthine place. I sprained an ankle here. (Worth it.) A view toward the northern edge of the Sea of Galilee. The dark stuff right around the lake is a banana plantation, if I remember correctly. The ancient Canaanite city gate at Tel Dan (from when it was known as Laish). Since it's mud brick, they put a cover over it to keep it from melting in the rain! The hill of Gamla, so-called because it's shaped like a camel's hump. We went down some very stepp rock stairs into the valley, then climbed up to the Roman-period tower you can just see at the top of the hill. Lehitsham'ot!
