... br><br><br>After some tea and cake and eventually sleep I woke up early to go to Akko before I head down to Jerusalem. I got chatting to Idit and then realised I didnt really have time for Akko. Then I decided to see Tel Aviv instead, we were still chatting and then somehow it was 1pm so I had no time to do anything but hop on a bus to afullah and then onto Jerusalem!<br>

... press, a synagogue, olive trees, carving tools and a loom.<br>We also went to a really big church called the Basilica of the Annunciation. It was built over a cave where Mary was told by the angel Gabriel that she would give birth to Jesus. There were many cool things to see inside and outside the church. There were some amazing moaics given from around the world depicting Mary and baby Jesus in each countries culture.

... Israel but that the way things are organized all the good people are going to leave, etc. etc. Okay... The lady also said that there might be openings at this kibbutz called Ein Gev, which is right by the Sea of Galilee. <br>Two days ago Boaz and I drove up North from Tel Aviv. We drove past some beautiful look out points (although the fighter jets flying over our heads kind of freaked me out initially), and then headed toKibbutz Ein Gev, which was a beautiful place ...

Heute war mein letzter Tag im Fauzi. Wieder einmal unfassbar, wie die Zeit vergeht! Heute vor genau sechs Wochen bin ich hier angekommen und hab von da an die vielleicht beste Zeit meiner Reise gehabt, auf jeden Fall den besten Job. Zum Abschluss habe ich es auch noch geschafft, den ersten Tag des Jesus Trails zu wandern, jener Wanderroute, die einen innerhalb von vier Tagen von Nazaret bis ans Nordufer des See ...

... Gedi namen.<br><br>Und Ein Gedi war einfach die Bombe schlechthin! Noch am Mittwoch nachmittag liefen Thomas und ich runter zum Toten Meer und namen das vielleicht seltsamste Bad unseres Lebens... Das Tote Meer hat naemlich einen gigantischen Salzgehalt, der so hoch ist, dass man in keinem Fall untergehen kann. Man treibt einfach. Wie ein Korken im Wasser. Dazu ist die Bruehe noch total oelig und zieht so komische Schlieren, wie Benzin. Riechen tut es wie ein ...

... hasnt even lived anything yet. If I thin of how much I've done since I've turned 19, it's an entire lifetime it seemed. It was hard to be there to hear Boria tell us how it all happened and then to have him show us the spot the accidnet happened. We were there for perhaps 30 minutes and returned back to the home for dinner. As Ariel was preparing it, Dina ointed out their fig tree in front of their house and brough out a large big of figs. mum and I sat close to it and ate about ...

... bird poop issues, as TripAdvisor "Journeyer" mentioned in her trip report. Then we saw a short movie (Hebrew with English subtitles) on the history of the place. How it all began long ago with small cracks in the rocks and slowly the water dripped &amp; expanded the rock until there were caves where the water came all the way through and laps there today. &amp; obviously the changes to the rock continue. At the edge you look out &amp; all you can ...

... Israel Finkelstein, the dig director, is Israeli and a native Hebrew speaker, but also speaks English and French very well. Around 8:30 Professor Norma Franklin, who has lived in Israel for over 20 years and dug at Megiddo for about as long, but never lost her English accent, stands to make announcements. They include reminders about the evening classes and lectures, congratulations on birthdays, welcoming visitors and other such information. Then it is time ...

... letting our curiosity and what sounds interesting today guide our choices. Before heading out, we phone Atef from Sunday's group in the Golan at Gamla. We had tried to email the group photos, but the email was returned; fortunately, we have his phone number so we can get the correct spelling and get the photos to him. Harvey speaks with Atef who is once again so friendly and talks about what their group had done after we left them. He ...
