National parks in Israel

On our last day of touring through Israel we visited two national parks. First we went to the archeological site of Zippori. A lot of stuctures have been preserved quite well, giving an impression of the area. A lot of mosaics are more or less intact, showing the hard work of fine craftsmen. It is expected that a lot more will be found when they completely dig the sand from the hill. Later we went to Beit She'arim. In this park the main attractions are the caves which were used as cemetery. A lot of tombes can be seen from close by, although they are damaged because thieves robbed everything from the tombes.
