Right before coming to Israel, I found this short, quick read by Amanda Hope Haley: The Red-Haired Archeologist Digs Israel.
Written by (you guessed it!) a red-haired archeologist, it's more a story of the time after she attended a dig in Israel, when her family came to visit and they explored this beautiful land for a few more weeks than it is about her adventures digging (although there is that at the beginning). So for me, it was a review of many of the places I've been, seen through the eyes of an American archaeologist—which was fun!
Haley's attention to detail was strong here, as she noted small events that happened in each city during her visit, from someone's expression to the food they ate. And I totally get why she wrote this, because I created my own photo album after I came, completed with written explanations, because I wanted to personally re-live my own trip and never forget those tiny details. So it was fun to go through this travelogue with her and her family.
If you want to know more in general about a lot of famous sites in Israel, then this is a great, quick read from someone who loves history and sharing it with others.
