4 days.
That's really all I have left here... I can't believe it.
I'm literally going to be heartbroken when it's time to go. In all honesty, I have come to love this place--I never imagined I'd get to the point where Israel felt like home, but it really does. A home where I'm one of the only people who is blonde and doesn't speak Hebrew or Arabic, where the food is crazy and the bathrooms are crazier... where I can walk where Jesus walked, and life is incredible...
I'm just happy :)
The other night I was studying for finals-- and here was the sunset outside my window. Oh my goodness.
Masada is right on the Dead Sea, and is hot and dry year-round... but for some reason, the day we went it, was raining cats and dogs back in Jerusalem (the first rain!!) and we got unbelievable winds and this gorgeous rainbow out of it :) Everything was just stunning that day
At En Gedi with two of my favorites!
My other favorite there-- Ibexes everywhere :P
Swimming in the Dead Sea!! Oh, that water is so salty...
Qumran, where the Dead Sea scrolls were found! (Here's Cave #4)
Hezekiah's Tunnel!! (yes, that's my fantastic fanny pack I'm keeping from getting wet)
Last day of class with Dr. Muhlestein :)
W...O....W. Unbelievable experiences, enviable experiences. Wishing everyone could see, hear, feel, and know what you have had these last few months. Happily blessed, that's what you are. Enjoy these last few hours there, and anticipate a thrilling reunion at home. Sooo exciting!! ~love yer guts! /Heather
