A is for arrivals and archaeology at the airport

.
Applause for ABC Wednesday going into Round 9 today!
Mrs. Nesbitt and her meme team deserve straight A's.

And I was at the airport today to await the arrival of two dear relatives who are moving back to Israel after many years in America.
Ahalan!

Archaeology, even at the airport!
This big mosaic carpet hangs on a wall in Terminal 3.

Appropriately, it is a mosaic that was discovered in Lod.
Ben-Gurion International Airport was formerly called Lod Airport because it is near the town of Lod.

  5. Airports are becoming a hub of artifacts and art galleries. I sometimes wish I was travelling so that I could get to see some of the works that are displayed at our airport.

  6. I love learning about different locations. Imagine that—archaeology at the airport. I wonder how many other airports —or if any other airports—have such an exhibit.
