Hi from the Ben Gurion airport!!
I am in the departure lounge, waiting for the flight down to Eilat with Mom, Bubby, Auntie Michelle, and Deb! Looking forward to a relaxing weekend with sand, sun, and water!
Last weekend, I went on a desert hike and shabbaton - what an experience! There was a part of the hike where we literally scaled the side of a cliff. It was super sketchy, but super fun! Pictures to follow, I don't have time to post them now! Stayed at a very nice youth hostel (I wouldn't even call it that!!) in Arad, a city in the desert. Went to a glass museum on the Saturday morning, and there was some very interesting stuff there!
Had a field trip from my Archaeology in Jerusalem class to the City of David - a small area just south of the Old City, where it is believed David set up his settlement (before his son built the Temple a short distance away). Bus got stoned while we were touring around the site - a few broken windows! Before we got to the City of David, we stopped on Mount of Olives for an outlook over the city of Jerusalem, including the Old City and the City of David!! Here, there was a camel very carefully situated on an outlook point. Got a bunch of pictures, and even mom said it was CUTE! That's right! Pictures will be posted once I have more time! Still waiting to ride a camel...
Boarding time now, I will post more later!
