Although Israel is relatively a new state (1948), the land itself is as old as time. There are many sites including Qisaryya that shows this land's history. Qisaryya also spelled Caesarea, pronounced kee-sar-ya by Israelis and pronounced ke-sa-ri-ya by tourists was built in 25-13 BCE. Wait... what's BCE? I know BC and AD. It turns out, BCE is Before Common Era, a non-religious, neutral form of BC. Which makes sense since most Israelis are non-christians. BC or BCE, it is from a long, long time ago.
With its close proximity to our home and its ancient ruins and history, Qisaryya makes it the perfect place for our first trip in our first week. Here are some photos. I'm only showing to save some surprise for our future guests.

Besides the ruins, Qisaryya is also a lovely town with nice restaurants. Below is a picture of the seafood dish I devoured. I can't remember the name of the restaurant but I know exactly where it is. Best shrimp and calamari EVER!
