The day started by saying good-byes to most of our group this morning. The Nazarene Bus came to pick up those travelling at 11:00 AM and guess what? The driver had Dan's camera. Yeah! I did not believe it would happen as Efrat (the lady in charge of the rooms) was unable to get ahold of the company yesterday. :)) Dr. Schuler was kind enough to loan me 20 sheckles to tip the driver. Don't worry Dr. Shuler the check is in the mail as soon as I get home.
I made Daniel French Toast this morning after getting up around 9:30 AM....mmm.... I did a little packing and cleaning and then I joined Linda and Dr. Gimbal at the Sea. Linda left and Dan joined us. Then Dr. Gimbal had enough sun and it was just Daniel and I. What a lovely float we had in the Sea for at least a half an hour. One of those times that mom and son rarely get. It was calm and peaceful and nice.
We got ourselves dried off and headed out for lunch at the dining hall...one last time. I don't know if it was because there are less people to feed or because tonight is the Shabbat meal, but the lunch seemed skimpy. We were really well fed the entire time we were working here???
After lunch, Dan and I began in earnest to get his stuff together. Andy and Dan sure had a messy room :O I am having trouble closing my suitcase, eventhough I sent a lot of extra stuff home with Carl. I will have to go through it and see what can be left behind or tossed out...again. Linda is checking her bag, so maybe I'll sneek some stuff in hers. There's no one here to use this stuff now. We are all gone or going.
Linda scheduled a massage for 1:00 today and I am having one right after her. I decided it might help me NOT feel like I need to kick the seat in front of me all the way to New Jersey. I am sure the passenger in front of me will appreciate it :)). So I will get a massage at about 2:30 and shower and just finish packing and wait for the taxi at 6:00 tonight.
Speaking of taxis, ours showed up at 6:00 AM this morning. It was here at the same time as the bus. There was some confusion about the time since Israelis call it 18:00. Efrat got it straighteded out for us and they will be back.
It has been very nice writing to you all every day. I will miss telling you all of the owies, mishaps and adventures we have. God's blessings to you and my prayer is for you to one day see and touch the Holy Land of our Lord and Savior Jesus the Christ. Peace be with you all. Love, Tina and Dan
