Good morning to All:
It is Friday morning at 6:30 and we are just waking up to our last day in Israel. It has been an amazing ride for us both but we now look forward to the next leg of our journey.
Last night the school had a ceremony and dinner for our class. There were 27 of us from all around the world...Australia, China, South Korea, Tanzania, Nigeria, Russia, Switzerland, Germany, Turkey, Italy, Canada, Great Britain and of course the U.S. Three of our contingency are from West Point. The school sends a few students every year to this program. We were all age groups and professional levels from freshman in college to PhDs teaching in college. Galilee College gave all of us an education and experience that will stay with us forever....from the first lecturer to standing inside the Dome of the Rock and the Al-Aqsa Mosque (it has been closed to nonMuslims for almost 10 years so this was actually quite amazing and only happened because of someone's connections, other groups were very puzzled about how we got in), this is a program I would recommend to anyone who think they understand the complex issues facing Israel today......
Well folks, there is just so much to tell and show but that will be saved for when we return. For now we say Shalom until we see each other again in September...God Bless.
