Today for our field trip we went exploring the city of David. The city is located outside of todays Old City, and is the place where David and his son built their palaces and cities. It was awesome going through the little tunnel that carries water through the once city of David. It was dark, so I am glad that I brought my headlamp, and it was a tight squeeze, so I am greatful I am not claustrophobic. Alot of the taller people in group were bent down most of the time, but I was lucky and didnt have to do it the entire time. The water greets you right away when you get in, and it was clean water so no worries there. I was happy that the deepest parts was in the beginning so I could just get over the shock of cold water and being wet. I had a blast just walking in the water and trying to find my way through the narrow passage way. It did remind me of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade when he was looking for the tomb of one of the brother's tomb and there was all those rats. So imagine that, minus the rats and the bodies, and it was water instead.
I was in the back because I wanted to take my time and take some pictures and not to get splashed in case someone fell, because I did have my camera with me.
I just could not imagine working to make that tunnel, it was amazing and I was impressed with the work that these engineers back did were able to accomplish.
I do have great photos of my friends and I pretending to be fountains, and they are great ones so stay tuned. Oh and it was always a great day when behind us were European guys who didnt want to get wet, but didnt have a swim suit. Thats right alot of my photo backgrounds have middle age men in their underwear. It was amazing to see how shocked and panicked some girls were. I thought it was hilarious and wanted to go take a picture with them, but i didnt think my teacher nor my parents would approve... see mom I still can hear your council across the world.
Well i have a paper to write and two midterms to study for, so adios!
So glad to know that you still can hear your mom's words of wisdom even though you are thousands of miles away.. Now if I could really believe you listened and followed them...
