How did it get to be July 17th aready? Today is my last day at Kibbutz Ein Gev, and I was just starting to have fun! Last time I wrote, I had injured my achilles tendon and was working from the dorm on classwork for Dr. Schuler's New Testament class. I spent Monday and Tuesday on the kibbutz, and by Wednesday morning I was ready to go back up! Unfortunately after a few hours I realized my ankle was not ready so I spent the rest of the day sifting. This worked out well though,because I did find 2 coins within an hour of each other. I also took it slow on Thursday, and helped out Arnie's team sweeping their walls and floors. They have done a fantastic job in their square, and it was great to spend some time with another team. I just wish I could figure out what they have going on over there!
Thurday evening, courtesy of generous donations from Darryl's church members and others, we were given a fabulous sunset ride on Lake Tiberias. That was probably one of the high points for me, as far as connecting the present and the past and really feeling the divine presence of this place. Tomorrow it is off to Caesarea, which I have been looking forward to ever since I found out I would be able to go. I was in Caesarea 10 years ago, and have great memories of that trip, so looking forward to making some more!
