Whew . . . it was hot. But now we're on a rooftop overlooking the wedding of Cana church (and yes, we're having some water turned into something else . . .) - Lyndon wants to call it miracle juice for some reason. The sunset was beautiful, the bells were ringing, and the call to prayer was haunting. And, better yet, one of our rooms has a washing machine and our clothes are tumbling as I write this.
The day was a hike in the heat. Lisa, our nurse, proudly reports that there were/are no heat stroke casualties and only one sunburnt nose to speak of. It was a beautiful hike through the rolling hills of the Galillee, and a wonderful chance for many of them to don newly purchased kafiyes (traditional head scarves).
Tomorrow's hike is shorter but the new word is that we are either getting yogurt or staying in yurts. Yes, communication still is a bit of a problem at times. Day after, we should see a swimming pool if reports are accurate.
There continues to be much laughter, lots of sunscreen, and plenty of (Lyndon wants "educational moments" but he has been vetoed) fellowship (even though Jacquelyn refuses to share her Star Wars pillow).
Deep brain moment from Emma: "Twenty minutes ago, before I ate, I was incredibly hungry. Now I'm not. What happened?" Stay tuned for the next deep brain moment.

Jaquelyn needs to realize that all star wars memorabilia are classified as toys, and that you should share your toys with others.
ReplyDeleteHave a great hike (hikes, I suppose...), and don't forget to take plenty of pictures!

Great to see everyone is still doing well. It's been hot here too -- both outside and at City Hall at the appeal hearing. fyi: Westgate's expansion is a go!
