Professor Robert Haak (Augustana College) led several tours to prominent Byzantine sites, including Beit She'an (Byzantine Scythopolis), the monasteries of Gerasimus, Martyrius, Euthymius, and the port city of Caesarea.  In addition, he joined the group on a hike thru the Wadi Kelt to Choziba (St. George's) monastery, and to Tel Rehov in the Jordan Valley.   Click on highlighted images below for enlarged versions of select pictures.
