A few boats moored in the harbour and off in the distance a pretty nice private beach.
Another look at the ruins of the amphitheater and the village.
This is what remains of the dock. The original dock extended well into the sea and was the first of its kind.
We went into the theater to see a very interesting presentation of the history of Caesarea. It was a city with build by Herod for the Romans. The greatest feat was the creation of a deep water port which over time, succumbed to the forces of nature.
Inside the gate you could see the tower where the guards remained vigilant against attach.
The outer walls of the fortress with a moat surrounding it.
Having left the beach and the aqueduct, we were on our way to see the harbour.
For the first time on this trip, my feet are in the Mediteranean Sea. I will find some time in the next few days to get down to the beach for some swimming and sunbathing. The water is nice and warm, unlike the waters of California.
The beach at Caesarea is quite busy on a Saturday afternoon. It was about 95 degrees out and quite humid.
A remaining section of the aqueduct. This marvel of engineering took water down from springs in the hills to the city where it was used. Many sections of ancient aqueduct can be found around the country.
Out from the cars, the boys are making their way onto the beach to do some sightseeing and possibly some swimming.
Thirty minutes south of Haifa on the Mediterranean coast, sits an ancient town built by King Herod for the Roman Empire. Several beautiful communities have since been build near the ruins that have been excavated and preserved.
