JERICHO

This field trip was much too fun. Life is really just like one constant, big adventure with all sorts of amazing people and some lovely bus chats. (Heads up - I went a little too over the top today with editing photos on Picasa, but please just let me do it this once. We did so many reenactments....I couldn't help it. )

Fact of the day: Jericho is the oldest and lowest city in the world. Oh and Jericho is home to the best bananas in the world. Kid you not-we tried them. They were delicious.

Pathetic moment of the day: The oldest tower in the world...is tiny? What??? (Yes, my eyes are closed. I was laughing too hard and the sun was much too bright.)

Movie of the day: The Battle of Jericho. I love my field trip group.

Sassy moment of the day: Mount of Temptations is behind us. "Get thee hence Satan." Just kidding-Love you EEB. By the way, there is a restaurant on that mountain side. Anyone tempted to get some chocolate cake?

Yummiest moment of the day: Freshly squeezed Pomegranate juice. So absolutely delicious.

Awe-inspiring moment of the day: Seriously...GO LOOK AT YOUR BIBLE MAPS. I am in love with my life. Say hello to the Judean Hill Country/Wadi Qilt.

Funniest moment of the day:"Man, Moses and the Lord are best friends."-Spencer. (The quality conversations we have studying late at night in a windowless room with diet coke.)

Charitable moment of the day: Reenactment of the Parable of the Good Samaritan. We were on the road from Jericho to Jerusalem. I adore Rachel. Best bus buddy yet.

Speediest moment of the day: 4 minutes field trip stop at the tree that Zacchaeus once climbed as Christ walked past. Fastest photo shoot ever. We are officially pros.

Happiest moment of the day: Sara VanWagenen is oh so lovely. 

(No pictures for these ones...luckily.)

Side note of the day: Nuzzle hugs are the most awkward. 

Confession of the day: I am in charge of birthdays here. I didn't realize I purchased permanent markers for the birthday notes. I may have ruined a table in our dining area. Fingers crossed I can get it off.

Lamest moment of the day: We also went to Harod's Winter Palace...trust me, it wasn't even worth a photo. Some rocks just aren't quite as nice as others.

Reality of the day: I promise to have more creative blog posts sometime soon. Possibly after I catch up on some sleep.
