Writing exercise

[layne67]

A little while back i_o_r_h_a_e_l started this little writing exercise :

Am doing these writing activities to find out if they're easy enough for the students/users of our books. The activities are taken from the book Discovering the Writer Within: 40 Days to More Imaginative Writing. So I'm going to need 40 days for this.

Some of the towns have numbers eg Nazareth 3 and Jericho 7. What does the numbers denote?
