long time no post haha. well since the last time we posted all us holladay girls spent 10 days in Galilee and 3 days in Jordan. Wow- there is so much I could say about both trips, enough to write novels and novels. but i will spare you the volumes.
Galilee: one of my favorite places on Earth. the time i spent there felt like a blink of an eye. i could have spent forever there. basically we traded days having 3 hours of New Testament in the morning and beach time for the rest of the day with a bonfire on the shore at night or going on NT fieldtrips. Best sites were: Gamla (synangogue from time of Jesus) Capernaum, Mount of Beattitudes, Tiberias and boat ride on Galilee. My mind was blown with all the knowledge I learned.
Jordan: loved it just as much, maybe even more than Egypt. Petra is indescriable. the Treasury had amazing detail but the Monastery (a hike of 800 stairs up out of the canyon= totally worth it) has a much grander scale. I almost got traded off to a Bedouin man while there. Justin and Austin thought it would be hilarious to marry me off. I started off for 800 camels, then it went to 1/2 a camel and finally ended with the guy's shirt. when he started pulling off his shirt thats when i ran to the horses and rode away. riding a horse in Petra was a neat adventurous feeling, and i even galloped. no walking for this girl- i had to get away from a marriage trade.
our time here is winding down and i refuse to think about leaving. i think my heart might break. as in it will break. the ONLY things pulling me back home are: family and Christmas. thats it. i love israel more than i ever thought i would.
