My Journal Entry:
Went to Caesarea today! It was awesome. Herod built Jerusalem in Jewish style to please the Jews, but he built Caesarea in Roman style to please the Romans (i.e. amphitheater, hippodrome, big marble pillars, statues, etc.), so it was almost like visiting another country! And it was built overlooking the sea, so it's absolutely gorgeous! After touring and lunch we went to go to some fortress, but after three hours in the vans (getting lost, asking for directions, getting lost again, and realizing that it was closed by that time), we stopped for Magnums, stretched our legs a little, then headed back to the hotel for dinner. After dinner we had a lot of fun - girl's night in Amanda and Emilie's room to write the song for the boys (to be explained in a later post)! After an our of brainstorming and playing with it, we have a pretty awesome rendition of "Screen Door" (a VISION song) to sing at the farewell dinner. :) All packed now and ready to move to some kibbutz tomorrow morning. Still fighting the stuffiness, but hopefully it will be gone soon! Only a few more days until we go home...
Mr. Wilson's Details:
CAESAREA
VISION spent several hours at Caesarea, on the coast of Israel, between Netanya and Haifa. They sang in the great amphitheater, including their song with a Spanish verse and chorus for a tourist group from Venezuela.
Caesarea is the city where Peter came to heal Cornelius' servant, and where Paul sailed from more than once, including the time he appealed to Caesar and was sent off toward Rome. King Herod the Great is the one who developed this town, including a seaside palace, now in ruins.
VISION XIX
