We met at 8:30 in the courtyard of the Sarcophagi in Ashkelon and were surprised by the archaeological exhibits that were discovered near the site.

We eagerly listened to the explanations prepared by Shula and Eli about the history, type and quality of the findings.

The same is true of the three sites we visited in the Ashkelon National Park – the arched entrance and the fortifications, the basilica and the remains of the port.

We continued to the house of the ceramicist Tzamerat in Netiv HaAsara moshav, where we heard about the history, the way of life and the struggle in the moshav and other settlements near the Gaza Strip. Everyone bought a small ceramic souvenir; behind it we wrote a wish and went to stick it on the Peace Wall in the moshav.

We ended up at a fish restaurant on the new promenade in Ashkelon's marina.

We parted with hugs and a promise to meet again soon.

Thank you dear Shula and Eli for the wonderful day you have prepared for us.
