Nayarria, Caesarea and more...
Nahaiya is the furthest city to the north west of Israel, it is actually right on the border of Lebonon and Israel. Here we took a cable car down to the bottom of the mountain where the old Grottos (a natural or man-made cave) are. An amazing place, just incredible. The water you see below is the Mediterranean sea and the waves in the morning are very strong and dangerous. Once we got into the grotto you can hear the water banging on the cave walls and splashing everywhere.

The views from up here were just incredible.
Above are two amazing people that have made the trip more than perfect. Davidal, the best tour guide in Israel and Julius on the right, the one that pushes all of the buttons to make this this trip one of the best.
Next to the border of Lebonon and Israel we found this.

Here we are in Akko south of Nahariyya, where we walked through one of the oldest inhabited city dating back to 1504-1450 BCE. But, we stared in a large open area and.........
For some reason we always found ourselfs walking in these narrow openings......... :)
Here we are in Caesarea and anciet port city, that has an amphitheater (below) and a Hippodrome (above). At the time that we got here there was a band practicing and getting ready for a concert at night; the acoustics were amazing, once you entered the amphitheater you can feel the bass from the drums and no matter where you are seated you will always have a great view of the sea and the performers.

About Me
- Blanca Flores
- So, this blog began as a way to place my pictures for my Photography class this summer and later a place where i can share some of my pictures with friends and family while in the Holy Land. Coinsidently, the Jerusalem abroad class wanted us to start adding our pictures to a blog so that we can share it with our school and have something else to show while we are gone. Another way to express where we've been and what we have done. I thought that is was a great idea, given the fact that i had already started the blog. :) Israel-The Holy Land! We have seen many places, met wonderful people, and have had the change to live in Jerusalem for one month in the land where once 2000 years ago Jesus was and lived. I am a student at the Catholic University of America. Currently working on my Master's of Architecture. I am originally from El Salvador and have lived in Washington, DC since 1989.
