Jericho Is Still There

 This is not my photo.  But I was there one day in 1988, and I saw what remained of Joshua's walls. Incredibly, they are still there, thoroughly fallen down.  It's hard to be skeptical in Israel.

It was 115℉ in the shade that day and such high humidity that you could see it.  I declined to get out of the air conditioned tour bus.  I found that by the end of the trip, some things were best looked at from the bus.  I didn't get out and explore the diamond merchant's places either.  I wasn't in the market. 

Anyhow, this is just my middle of the night thought.  The past is very present.
