Yesterday we got up at 3 o clock in the morning to get to
the airport. Then we went on a 1 hour flight, then a 3 hour flight, and the one
I hated the most a 10 hour flight from Newark to Israel. Half of our group had
their flights cancelled because of a snowstorm in the East coast, But we made
it along with some other people. Later we had some falafel sandwiches which are
falafel in pita bread which is really good. We also went to Jacob’s Well and an
Orthodox Church and I finally know what mur is YAY! We spent the night in
Bethlehem which is in the West Bank. Today we went to Jericho and we went to
the place where the Dead Sea Scrolls were found and the Dead Sea I put my hand
in the in the water and when it dried off it was completely white because of
all the salt. We went to St Georges Monastery by the Wadi Qelt which is a huge
ravine we had to hike down to the monastery and when we were going back up I
rode a donkey it was scary and awesome the donkey was running so close to the
edge of a ravine. Tonight we are staying in Galilee.
What a busy and exciting two days! Just think of Mary riding on a donkey on her way to Bethlehem. You are having once in a lifetime experiences!
