What Wouldn't Jesus Do?

Ok, here I am in Israel at Kibbutz Ein Gev. Oh, it's nice. Right now it's about 7:45, and I'm sitting by the Sea of Galilee with the mountains and sunset in the mist. I could get used to this.

Well I'm glad you mentioned that, Christine, because you know, I could also get used to digging as well. We had our second day at the site today, and while it was more difficult today than it was yesterday because we dug all day and not just after breakfast, I still loved it. There's something I like about this kind of rigorous work. Also, it's wonderful to get back and cool off in the Sea of Galilee. So far, my routine has been to dig in the morning, eat lunch, swim in the sea, relax and read or write, go to pottery washing, go to dinner, check mail, and go to bed. The days work pretty well because we get to rest for the most part after the hard mornings.

The people here are pretty fun. There are a bunch of Canadians, and tonight there was the obligatory comparison of dialect and accent. always hate that conversation. It's always just stating the obvious, and it ALWAYS drags on for like an hour. Hopefully we're past it now.

Also, when we toured around the Sea of Galilee, I saw some people hang-gliding over the water. I thought of this.
