On our way to Megiddo, Caesera Maritima, and Sapphoras. great breakfast in the hotel. My stomach is healthy so far! We have been eating some unusual foods. We stayed in Netanya last night (upper middle class area). Their work week starts on Sunday and runs through Thursday. Duplexes here run about $400,000 - $500,000! Land is at a premium.
Huge amounts of natural gas discovered off the coast. This may allow them to be energy independent. Their oil currently comes from the Swedes, etc. The average cost of a gallon of gas is about eight dollars.

According to our guide the Romans were master builders, but their entertainment was very raunchy!
From Caesarea we moved on to Megiddo. This City overlooks the Jezreell Valley. While we were at the top we could hear the Jewish jet planes going over. At Megiddo we walked downstairs that went down through 7000 years of civilization. The Stairs lead to a tunnel that was built to provide water for Megiddo. It covered the source so that if an enemy came they would not have access to water, but the people of Megiddo would.
