we’ve hit the half way point in this amazing journey to Israel. we’ve seen so much and have dug up more history in a day than a whole year of high school history class. to say the least this is a life altering experience that should be, if possible, experienced by anyone who is able to go. to actually see history instead of reading it in a book is completely surreal. walking on the ground and finding the tools of the ancient times makes the 4:30am wake up completely worth it!!!!! i hope the next 2 weeks will be just as eventful and meaningful as the last 2.

Howdy, gang!
‘Shalom’ from (the other) Bethlehem! Hope you’re all well and making all the ‘finds of the day.’ What’s news from Ramat Rahel?
Arrived back in PA to a torrential downpour – a change of scenery, to say the least!
Keep in touch! Miss y’all.

My son, from NJ and UVM student, happens to be on this same dig. My sister stumbled onto your blog and forwarded it my way. I have thoroughly enjoyed both your pictures and commentary of day to day events. It’s so nice to see pictures of the places he has toured and been telling me about. It looks like you’re all having an amazing experience to say the least. Thanks for sharing.
