Diggin'

Hello!

The past couple of days, we've been digging in the archaeological site. Woot! It's called Bethsaida, and a portion of it has a road that is definitely where Jesus walked. There's also some evidence for the finding of Luke's house there. Mostly, it was a fishing community (as it was located right next to the Sea of Galilee before some earthquakes). It's really cool.

We've found some pretty cool things, mostly pottery and bones from the Iron Age. It has been a really awesome experience to think that we are the first ones to get our hands on these things probably since they were broken way back in the day. Ha. The four-year-old in my is having a lot of fun playing the sand box. ;)

We've also visited a couple of other churches and museums, including a church dedicated to the multiplication of loaves and bread and the Beatitudes.

We also so the city of Capernaum, where Jesus got in trouble for healing on the Sabbath.

It's been a great couple of days, and I am really excited to get back to digging tomorrow, even with the 5:10am wake-up call.

Hope you all have a great day!!
