An Ancient Rock Quarry On The Mediterranean In Rosh HaNikra, Israel
One of my very favorite sites in Israel, Rosh HaNikra just got even more special, as I seriously did not know that seashore area below the famous cliffs is a huge archeological site, who knew? I did notice that the rocks were an interesting shape, but until Iooked it up it did not occur to…

Yesterday after a very full afternoon of sourcing supplies for a design project my husband and I are working on, with two little boys in tow, we at long last made it to the seashore, the Mediterranean Sea, ahhhhhh. And while the sun was setting as we arrived, we still had a wonderful time, as…
