Exploring Tzuba

We spent some time last evening exploring the kibbutz. Though we didn't get there yet, there is an archaeological site known as the "John the Baptist Cave," that purportedly is the oldest extrabiblical reference to John the Baptist.

We did, however, get to an old spring that was used for irrigation, and saw lots of orchards and other agriculture. One of the most interesting was seeing the way in which they farm on the terraces on the steep hillsides. I'll post pictures of that later, but for now here are some shots from our wandering.
