Oh yeah...it's not a race. But seriously, it has a lot of similarities to the Amazing Race if you watch that. We are most definitely racing the clock here. We are trying to soak up every last site possible and there are STILL things that I wanted to do that we are not going to have time for. (mainly floating around in the Dead Sea)
Today was another day packed with adventure. We saw so many different sites directly out of the Bible that things are starting to blur together. Rob says I have a really bad short term memory (maybe because I constantly ask...so what happened here???), but the truth is it is information overload. Davenda and I sat down last night and read through most of the book of Matthew and part of Acts, taking note of every place that we've actually visited since we've been here. It's unbelievable!
Couple of big things today - in Acts 26, when Paul was defending himself in front of Agrippa - we were there...on the very stage he stood! We also got to walk in the Meditarranean Sea - although not everyone was interested...it was really one of the highlights of my day:-)
Something I didn't mention yesterday (of course, I don't even know if I remembered to blog yesterday) we went to the River Jordan, to the area where Jesus was baptized...several people on our trip were baptized in the river and I actually got in the river to collect some souvenirs;-)
Well - that's about it for now. Tomorrow we go to Bethlehem and other places.
Talk to you all soon...and don't forget (or maybe no one has told you) I can get unlimited texts over here, I just can't reply without incurring crazy charges...so feel free to communicate with me!
Love,
Angel
