I was able to be in Galilee for the last 10 days and I miss it already... I have noticed that I havent written that much about my experiences or sites visited in Galilee so I will try to do a bit of catching up.
This "camels hump" is Gamla, where the Jewish people revolted against the Roman and were able to win the first battle but wasent able to come back for the second battle. So the leader then was able to convince the people to jump off the mountain instead of being conqured.
So there is a little piece of history, which is werid for me to write about but I have to show, to my dad who is reading these blogs, that I am learning here. The hike down to the mountain was a beautiful hike and we were able to do it on a great day. located on the hill was a synagoue, houses and other small structures that are still able to see during the time
of the Revolt.We then were able to hike to a waterfall, which was another amazing hike and a bit more easier to get to. I did have my judgements of the waterfall because I now compare it to the Victoria Falls, but it was still amazing to see.
Here is some of my friends Rachel Bennett, Amanda Walker and Amy Washburn.
We then headed to Hippos, another site that is what to have been believed the city that christ referred to as the "city that cannot be hid" druing his sermon on Mt.Beatitudes in Matthew 5 or 6 I believe.
Today we had to stay on the trail because there is still mines not found. Here is Rebecca and I posing for the sign. It is thriling to be in a "dangerous" place. But what I felt bad was for the cows that were out wondering in this dangerous land. How sad would that be if a cow found a land mine.
Kelsey - Ask Amy what Washburn tribe she is from. Grandma Great was a Washburn from Blanding. Her father was Abraham and mom Sally Washburn. Her family moved to Draper when she was 14.
