Sunday May 20 - The Dig.


Today is Sunday, May 20. We are at the dig part of our trip in Bethsaida and have had our orientation with Dr. Rami Arav and we met Kate, who will be our site supervisor and this is going to be exciting. The weather cooled off a bit today. We are living at a Kibbutz this week and on the dig we will be the dust people. Since the last post we dipped our feet in the Jordan and were blessed with Holy water. We sailed on the Sea of Galilee and visited Sepphoris,believed to be Mary's home and Nazareth. A highlight was a visit to Nazareth village which was a recreation of what it would have been like in Jesus day. A visit to Mt Tabor gave new meaning to mountain top experience and the start of Jesus' ministry.

Hi Ho, Hi Ho, it's off to work we go
