Hey Sweet Friends! I did another post yesterday, but it hasn't been posted yet, as I put it on someone's computer. But it will get there eventually. Let's see, if you've read the other blogs, you've seen what we did today. Rode a boat on the Sea of Galilee, and then visited a museum where they have the well-preserved remains of a fishing boat that's TWO thousand years old. That was quite a find, I'd say. Then Janet, my roommate, and I walked down the sidewalk by the Sea of Galilee to the spa where they have hot mineral pools. It was hotter than blazes, but I'm glad we went. It wasn't much to write home about, but if we hadn't gone, I would have always thought, "I wish I would have gone to those mineral springs in Tiberias." We don't know what the mineral was, but it was green. That's why Tiberias was built in the first place, because of the hot springs, so it all felt very historical. We took a taxi back, which was the smartest move of the day.
Our discussion was really good tonight, and our worship, too. This is a good group of folks, and I am learning some good stuff about myself from being with them. I won't divulge here, but it's exciting when you are able to say, "I am learning about me." Which I did. Outloud. When I was alone in my room. Did a little dance, even.
Tomorrow is our "day off," and some of us are going to Safed, which is the hometown of the Kabbalistic Judiasm. Sounds like a really neat old city.
Well, someone is waiting for the computer, so I think that's all I need to say. Oh, about the piano and oboe, there's a concert going on here in the hotel. I sat in on it while I was waiting for the computer. No plastic Jesus bottle yet, which I am sure is what is uppermost on your minds.
Love, love, love,
Cindy

Hey Cindy!
You know I am not tech savvy---so tonight was the first night I was able to read your blog. Robert and Michael had to tell me what to do but now I was able to go back and read all your postings from the beginning. It is so cool to see you in the picture having communion half way around the world but looking like you are in the room with me.
It sounds heavenly to be there. Now I will always piture the Sea of Galilee as big and blue and beautiful because you said so. I can't wait to see all your pictures. I am certain you are right---that you have surely been at some place where Jesus actually was---oh my gosh! How amazing! It must be a little like looking back in time.
Soak it all up and enjoy. I look forward to many sermons where you can add that "eyewitness type" detail to the biblical story because you have seen it. Who knew --bouganvillia (sp?) in Israel! (I agree with your thought that it was transplanted there though.)
Love you so much,
Judah
I'm not jealous at all about the trip- I'd rather you go and tell me about it. But I'm jealous that you are learning more about yourself! What a gift. Hanging on your every word! Love, sue
I knew this was your post because it said hoity, toity. I'm checking it every day and it's really fun to read. I need to go back and look at the pictures. I know you are soaking it all in. We can't wait to hear about it all. Take care. Love, Bev
