Touring Day - January 25 - from ancient ports to pioneer villages

King Herod knew how to build - this is an amazing place - not to mention great location!  CAARI toured Caesarea with Neil, our walking encyclopedia!

Many of us had been there before and we were amazed at the new areas that had opened up.  We also got a chance to see the workers restore areas around the ancient port built originally by King Herod the Great between 22-9

Then on to the Zichron Yaacov - for lunch, shopping therapy and a tour of the Ahronson House and the intriguing story of the NILI spies!  Dinner at one of our favorite restaurants - Aresto.  Another great CAARI day of touring The Cararea Port, Zichron Yaacov and dinner as the sun set over the Mediterranean.

Why Build a Port 2000 years ago?
