Hi dan.
we follow your trip ocasionaly and enjoy the pictures and the stories beside them.it is obvious that you are pleased and we wish you a good continuation.

The columns in the Photo you determimed "don't remember" is the "column boulevard" in ancient Bet shean reconstructions. when it was excavated the columns were lying on the street with all the heads to the north (the direction of the hill). they all fell at one moment in the earth quake in 749. the arceologists cosidered to leave the ruins as they found them in order to show the angle of the quake, but at last they decided to lift the columns up, as well as the whole city and leave the arches lying on the street.
best wishes to your birthday at 12.4.02. how old are you? Menachem celebrated at the same day his 73th birthday. all best to you,
wishing Menachem & Neomi Zeira
