Saturday - This morning began with a short trip to Zippori which is Mary's home town. There are ruins here dating back to around 200bc. The Romans built incredible public buildings, baths, residential areas, a 4,500 seat Roman amphitheater, market, etc. The sidewalks where mosaic and many of the floors of the buildings were done in beautiful mosaic. The mosaic shown is from a larger mosaic. This is considered the "Mona Lisa of Galilee". Most of the tiles in the mosaics are about 1/4". Amazing!
