We ended the day yesterday with a pizza party, got my bag ready to take to Jerusalem, watched more rockets...we find ourselves sitting on the lawn at night, watching...like it's the Fourth of July.
Today started early again, had to drop off our luggage to the office that we were not taking to jerusalem then on the bus at 5:15 a.m. and began the long climb to area F. Today, Dr. Mark and I cut down to another level, dropped down some 3 feet, sifted through the dirt, finding lots of pottery fragments and a very nice very sharp flint knife head, from around the 9 to 10 century bc. Also found a piece of flint about the size of a tennis ball..very unusual. We stopped early, 11:30 a.m. And took a tour of the other areas, then back to the kibbutz where we had 30 min to unload our stuff and get ready to take the bus to Jerusalem.
In Jerusalem the bus let us off and we took the light rail to the Damascus Gate and walked to the Austrian Hospice. Took a much needed shower and a nap. Walked up to the rooftop to a fantastic view of the Old City Of Jerusalem. Tomorrow I'll look around with others from our group. Next week I'm going to Tel Aviv for a long three day weekend, before flying out on the 21st. Appreciate your prayers!
