Well, I'm still here! I was supposed to fly home on the 29th, but due to customer delays in the US, I will need to stay a little longer and complete a little more training here.
So this weekend was a little off the hip. We had some of our counter parts leave this weekend. We were talking about the possibility of going down to Elat and heading over to Petra this weekend. With all the last minute changes and the up in the air schedule...We had to wing it.
Yesterday we headed up to the sea of Galilee to see the boat of Galilee and Tiberias. We also made a stop at Capharnaum and The Church of the Beatitudes. All stops were pretty cool. I wish we had a little more time at each.
Today was pretty mellow. I am pretty sure that we are all getting worn out and want to go home. I did go out and walk around for a few hours today. Not much is going on due to Shabbat. The weather has been really windy which makes it very nice for the Kitesurfers. That looks like a lot of fun but I think it needs a motor!
One of the many things that I have realized on this trip...I am so glad I can read! Trying to buy things in the store when you have no idea of what is in the box, bottle, or can is a bitch! There have been many things that I have picked up that looked really good and not being able to read the label, to know what it is, can be a real bummer. As we drove around yesterday the English started to disappear the further we moved out of Tel Aviv. There were multiple times where we wish that we were able to read the signs. The same goes for menus at a restaurant. You will start feeling pretty silly after ordering a few meals by pointing to the picture. We have been making it though!
By the way...It's been 5 weeks and I haven't seen a single set of wheels bigger than 18"! No perfectly clean lifted trucks...No 3ct faux diamond earrings...No significant sources of bling! Its quite nice!
Things here are a lot more simple than back home. It is quite refreshing. It makes you think about things and where we are heading.
Till next time!
