We will start off with our field trip to Jericho - the oldest and lowest place on earth.
The city was way smaller than I expected, but it's so interesting to see what it really was like.
Neat.
We went up to the monestary of temptation - Supposedly the rock that Christ was tempted on was up there...I didn't have enough time to see it because another huge group was already in the room. It was quite the climb up there!
Here's the view from the balcony of Jericho (to the left a bit) and some caves people lived in in the cliff. ok awesome!
Eric, Eric, Madison, Jill, Katie, Marissa and I on the balcony
On the way back to Jerusalem we stopped at an overlook of the Judean Wilderness... I have no idea how people survived walking through there. I would get so bored! Not to mention there is no food, water, or shade anywhere!
Me and Emma
Check out that sweet camel! Some people were selling things at the overlook and offered a donkey or camel ride. I caved and bought a sweet necklace that apparantly is made out of camel bone! It was a fun trip!
