99 - boat ride on the Sea of Galilee
100 - the Sea of Galilee at sunset. this is the very place Jesus walked on water and where He calmed the sea
101 - hiking through the mountains to get to the ancient sight of Cana, where Jesus performed His first miracle: turning water into wine
102 - so today I tubed down the Jordan River and for whatever reason it was one of the greatest things I've ever done. I laughed just about the whole way down
103 - last day in Galilee, relaxing with my favorite Rivka
104 - this stuff gets me through the hard times, aka the meals at the caf x_x
105 - Israel Independence Day on Ben Yehuda Street in West Jerusalem.. I don't understand why America doesn't do something like this. toooo much fun attacking people with giant plastic hammers, getting covered in foam, and dancing to live Israeli music
106 - lunch outside turned into this. <3 our ibex guys hahah
107 - "What to look for in a spouse" panel with our profs and their wives. one of the most helpful talks on marriage, thanks so much to the faculty for this!

109 - tonight we retraced Jesus's steps on his last night on this earth as we read through the accounts given in Scripture. definitely one of the most impactful times of the semester
110 - Old City wanderings on Shabbat
111 - day 1 of our archaeological dig at Tel Burna. the cute lil sticky fingered gecko was my digging companion, the black beetle was Becky's
114 - day 3 of the archaeological dig.. Jaden found a spearhead in this very spot!
115 - last day digging! we made so much progress in area B (area Besttttt!). excavating is very hard work but also rewarding. I'm really glad to have had the opportunity to dig around in dirt that held 3000 year old goodies! heh

113 - Samaritan Passover. each year, every family sacrifices a lamb on Mt. Gerizim (something like 30 lambs were sacrificed, not many Samaritans are left!). it was one of the worst things I've ever witnessed. it made me all the more thankful for the doing away of sacrifices because of Jesus's work on the cross114 - day 3 of the archaeological dig..
