Wow, where to begin. I've only been in Israel a few days, but I've already seen so much. We left the airport after everyone had accounted for their bags (mine apparently decided it liked Rome pretty well and decided to stay there an extra day, but it caught up to us) and headed for the archaeological site of Tel Gezer. It was given to Solomon by Pharaoh as a dowry for Pharaoh's daughter, but the valuable part of the city that we saw was the illustration of a city gate and standing stones. I'm probably not going to explain now since I need to get to bed somewhat soon. I'll tell whoever wants to know when I get back though. We've also been to some pretty incredible places: where Samson grew up, where David fought Goliath, and today we hiked through a wadi in the Israeli desert near the Sinai peninsula and saw a recreation of the tabernacle. I guess that's all for now.
