Even More Pictures from Galilee

Beth-shan is one of the most significant archaeology sites in Israel.  This city is probably the most fought over city in the world, having been conquered and rebuilt over 20 times.  Most of the site are Roman ruins that date back to 400 AD.  First, the theater (You must say the word 'theater' with a slight Old English lilt - otherwise this pun doesn't make any sense).

Andrew decided to help the archaeologists, they needed a few columns moved around.  I told him to not touch anything before we got there.  We got kicked out.

Yep.  Sheep.  What trip to Israel would be complete without a picture of these dumb animals.  They came rushing down the hillside just as we were pulling up to Beth-shan and nearly ran headon into the bus.  You could imagine who wins that one.  So, encountering a herd of sheep can be checked off our list of things to see on our trip.  Oh, and so can the shepherd.  Although he kind of ruined my perception of that profession.  Young man...wearing jeans...talking on a cell phone.  At least he had a stick in his hand.
