Went up to Masada by cable car which is just above the Dead Sea. What a fortress high above the valley. You could see why just a few people could defend against much larger numbers just because of their position and rolling a few boulders down at them.

Not sure if Ive mentioned this before but most of us know of Israels strong military. Lots of young soldiers around, many in their training. For you who know me its not a surprise to have a good chat with some of them. So a 3 year commitment for all the guys, 2 years for the gals, and the a month every year until you are 45. That way if something happens there reserve army is right up to date with everything.
Have to admit Im just about ancient walled out but man there is history here like no other place Ive been. My wife just loves history and I try figure out how they built everything.
