Cave time

Yesturday we were able to go on an all day field trip. It was a blast!! We started off the day watching these women weave clothing, it was amazing how they do it and how great they were. They do all the work in this compound, including sheering the sheep, getting the wool into thread, dying it and then weaving it. This project was started to keeep the tradition of weaving alive and allowing these women to have income so they can go to school and be educated. The project has been able to raise enough money to send their daughters and other local girls to school as well. It is such an amazing project and its killing me I cant remember the name...but I will find out and update. We then headed to an Israelite temple and an old Canaanite city that was below. It was cool to walk around the ruins and be able to be in the Holy of Holiest place.
The last place we went to was Avgat, which is a huge city the Nabatean people lived in, and these are the same people that built Petra. It was amazing what was there. THey had so many houses, a wine making place, a huge courtyard, two chapels, lookout and then many caves. The caves were awesome, you just look around while descending and find an opening and go inside. There will be a nicely carved arch way and a room where people use to live it. I had a blast in those
Our teacher Bro. Harper showed us the first one and said hey go check this one out. So a group of us went in and saw Bro. Ludlow there as well pointing to where a dark section was. I used my flash on my camera to see inside, and say two figures standing there. I totally thought that they were other people there, that may be hiding from us, but never thought that they were part of our group. I turned around to go tell Ludlow, but then another kid went in and a bunch of people jumped out. Then I knew it was our group and we could hear the next person coming down. So i pretended to just have come in as well and was like "hey come check out this cave with me, it looks really cool". was able to do that about 4 more times to many other people coming down, and it was so much fun. They never doubted me and were allows very willing to come in with me because I had a "light" we could use in there.
I thought that place was amazing, and was just in awe at what these people could create. I am really excited to go to Petra next week and this field trip made me even more excited.
Best part about tonight, we are watching Indian Jones and the last crusade, in order to get ready for Petra as well!
