I hope that all is well in the homeland. Today we were able to go to Neot Kedumim. Neot Kdumim is a garden/reserve for all of the plants and animals found in the Bible and Torah. We saw many flowers and herbs, herded sheep and goats (I watched that one and laughed most of the time, it was great!), built fires and cooked homemade pittas on it (I built and tended one of the fires, it was manly), and were able to see some really nice stuff. The reserve is about a hour south of Jerusalem in the hill country, so it was beautiful. So here are some pictures from the day:
This is a foot-powered water wheel. It was amazing how much water it could scoop up.
That is Katie Bourne you see the silohoutte of, she was powering the wheel when she got turned upside down.
Here's a normal picture of the wheel
This was a neat reflection of a small shed.
Washing dishes after the pitta.
The sheep and goats. As I said, it was fun to watch.
This is my whole class, we ground up oregano here and talked about it's significance in the scriptures (it's called hisip in the scriptures).
Here's another nice flower of the Holy Land, notice the bug in it.
This was a very nice wheat field (I think it's wheat).
This tree was neat, it looked nicer in real life, but it had long "leafs" of small yellow flowers.
