The Mediterranean Sea and other events

We're home! Galilee was a great time, but I was missing on Jerusalem. There is something about the JC that feels homey to me now. Seeing the Dome of the rock peek over the hill is the same feeling I get when I'm driving home from a long vacation and see the "Y" proudly shining on the mountains back in Provo.

Yesterday we went to Caesarea (an ancient city on the coast off the Mediterranean Sea). The second we got out of the bus I ran to the sea and touched it with my finger (so I could say I touched the Mediterranean Sea, right?). It was actually kind of a difficult experience seeing as I didn't want to get wet. The water would come and we'd touch it then run away as fast as we could. Oceans are great.

I'm excited to live out the rest of my three weeks in Jerusalem.
There is still so much to do in this great city before I leave!

Waves

    

 The last few days we've had in Galilee have been unlike anything we've experienced thus far.

 I mean, of course there were the tels (ancient cities built on top of each other over time), columns,

 and churches, but the weather has been warm and the sea has been radiant! 

The kids were getting restless during our two hour evening class yesterday. Every time our teacher

 said the word "Rome" we would clap and cheer. Our teacher caught on pretty fast and some

 how found ways around saying "Rome". Then, at 8:30 some kids stood up and sang, "Our God 

is an awesome God". 

It's great. So great.

I officially lost my swimsuit at a hot spring yesterday. Oh SJ, why am I so absentminded?
