Of course it wasn't a palace anymore but there were still some original mosaics and stone work from that period. This palace was built on the edge of a mountain top overlooking the Dead Sea. It must've been a mile long because whenever we thought we had seen the whole palace it just kept going. It was almost surreal to imagine what it actually looked like at the time it was built. There were grand bath tubs, pools, and columns with (what looked like) beautiful detailing.
These past couple of days we have seen things that I had no idea even existed. I can't help but be extremely grateful for having this opportunity to come to Israel to learn more about the cultures and history that is not my own.
