Tel ShevaTel ShevaTel Sheva

The ancient Tel...picture Abraham walking down in those streets
The first site that we visited was Tel Sheva.

Comment from the Crowd: Jeremy- It was really, really, REALLY old!

The first impression I got on walking up onto the Tel was that all of this was a really cool replica of the original. It didn't even enter my consciousness that it was the real thing. The place where Avraham Avinu's feet walked.

Here in the states, "ancient" means two hundred, possibly even three hundred years old. But in Israel, we are talking two thousand, three, four thousand years old! Even though I kept telling myself, "This is the real thing," I couldn't even begin to fathom it until the end of the trip.
