Day 13: Test Day

Today was a more relaxing day, being another test day. We woke up in the morning and studied for about 4 hours, and then took our test at 1:00! After our exam, we had a little time before class, so a few girls walked down to Jaffa Gate (a gate that enters into the Old City) and got some fresh juice! I bought some fresh orange juice...they squeezed 3 1/2 oranges. It was delicious!

After our break, we had class for three hours. We prepared for our next trip to Galilee! We learned lots of information and colored a lot on our map, so hopefully we are ready to go!

Once we finished dinner, a few of us went out into the Old City to do a little souvenir shopping at Shaban's....our favorite person in the Old City I guess. We weren't there for long, because we then had a guest speaker back at JUC at 7:30. He is very involved with excavating the Temple Mount, and had a lot of interesting information to share with us. He was a genious, and talked for 2 hours without stopping. Yes, it was a lot, but definitely very interesting and educational.

So that has been my day! I just packed for our four day trip to Galilee. We will be staying in En Giev which I here is absolutely beautiful. My professor says that this is her favorite place in all of Israel, so I am looking forward to it! Sadly, I will not be posting for the next three nights, but I will do my best to update you all as soon as I can. I cannot believe that we are heading into our last week already! This trip is flying by....but when I look back at all we have done and seen, it seems like I have been here forever.

Thanks for your continued prayers! I really appreciate it! I added a few more pictures from the last couple days! Talk to you soon!
