Leading Forward

You need only to discover which way is forward
and begin moving in that direction."

I will be "following" some young Hebrew University archaeologist leaders northward today, to Tiberias on the shore of the Sea of Galilee, for a few weeks of excavations.
Some automatic posts will appear but I will check in with you all only on Friday and Saturday, back home.
Tiberias is in the second lowest place on earth (after the Dead Sea). The lowest part of the hillside city, near the Kinneret lake (Sea of Galilee), is 212 meters or 606 feet below sea level.
The temperatures this week are 40 degrees (high 90s F).
A hot time to be doing archaeology.

Hope to bring you some good pictures of the expedition. Shalom!

Enjoy your trip to the Galil, one of my favorite parts of Israel (especially because my cousins live there, but also due to its wonderful and unique beauty).
ReplyDeleteSounds like another wonderful voyage of discovery, but please be careful in that heat, Dina! Be safe.
ReplyDeleteThere is a lot of wisdom in that, I have to think it over.
ReplyDelete202 meters below sea level, wow, my place is only 2 meters above sea level and sometimes it doesn't give a good feeling.
Have a nice trip.
Shalom!!!

ReplyDeleteTiberias is the second lowest place? We always notice the "sea level" sign high up the mountain but I never realized it was so much lower than other places.
ReplyDeleteHave a great trip, and at least the sharav finally broke today.
What a great trip lies ahead for you...many forms of discovery.
ReplyDeleteBe well, take care.
Sure is hot! Very curious what you all will dig up there:)
