Galilee Day 9--Upper Galilee Field Trip

Today was a pretty great day! We started out by going to Tel Hazor which is one of the largest Tel’s in Israel. It was cool. I am getting pretty spoiled…the ruins just don’t impress me as much as they used to. Hazor is named in the bible several times so that’s good. During this part Professor Kearl was with us—we tried to be on our best behavior but when he left we were all relieved. I was worried because my collar bone was showing—something that he said is unacceptable—but the thing was, I was wearing a hoodie! Anyways, we all passed and no one was sent home.

Then we went to Dan which was beautiful. Dan is one of the places where the Jordan River starts. We talked about living water there and it was beautiful. While we were here my friend Caleb couldn’t believe that I don’t take a million pictures everyday and so he decided to be my paparazzi photographer for the day. He took 322 pictures during the day. (He also really prefers candid shots and so he tried really hard to do candid shots of me. Turns out I can feel when a picture is about to be taken and I pose for them. What can I say? It is a sixth sense.)

Most of the pictures Caleb took of me during the day.

Hey look its Lebanon!

Then we stopped to look at a beautiful waterfall.

One of the few pictures I actually took today.

Up next, Caesarea Philippi where Peter made his declaration that Jesus is the Christ.

Then we went to a crusader castle which was a great picture spot.

At night we had a combined class bonfire where we sang songs and just had fun.
