EMMAUS

For our last trip we traveled to see friends who had moved from the kibbutz where we stayed. On the way we stopped at a place called Emmaus, though the location did not line up with a Biblical description in Luke 24:13. It was lovely. 

The construction dated back before the Roman period. Stone waterways and channels ran through  a small valley. It was easy to imagine houses built on the hillsides, and market stalls lining the main square.

It was a pleasant choice for the end of sight-seeing. 

And finally the sun set on our visit. Good night, Israel.
