vay-kay day 1

whelp we are in an internet cafe in tel aviv. we have had a great first day.

at the museum in tel aviv - kristi was in need of a snack :)
beach in tel aviv
tim at the place we had dinner. (no small decision. i think we looked at every place on the beach within 10 miles)
sunset after dinner.
tomorrow we head to sinai. we will sleep at the traditional mt. sinai site and see the sunrise there. thursday we will be at the resort in sharm el sheikh and will be able to post more pictures. i am super excited for a few days to relax by the beach and pool and tim is excited about the good chance to scuba dive.

as we continue to reflect over the semester we are reminded of the tremendous opportunity it is to be here and are grateful for this experience. today we said good-bye to dr. wright and his wife diane, who leave in a week for the states. we really appreciated getting to know them, dr wright's teaching and leading of trips and diane's willingness to answer any question i had or just talk. juc wouldn't be juc without them.

nothing like a vacation! so is the semester over? any more school? that is funny you just mentioned sinai cause my dad was talking on friday about our mount sinai trip. we didn't go up far because we didn't bring enough water and sherri got sick.
