I have a cool picture of us out in the driveway waiting for Shuttle Express to arrive, but I haven't figured out how to make it stick to the post! Maybe tomorrow when the other blogger on this trip gets here.
We have a very smooth flight from Seattle to New York, rushed through the terminal (I took a wheelchair with my boot on), and got to the other end of the terminal just in time to board the flight to Tel Aviv, which was also smooth and uneventful. Slept some (Ambien is a wonderful thing on a plane!), read, played crossword on the display on the back of the seat in front of me, and ate.
It was a long flight, but we are here safe and sound. It has been good to hug friends from last year's dig and get to know a new one (the daughter of the "staff doctor"). More will be coming in tomorrow and Friday, so it will be fun. The dig officially starts on Sunday (weekend is Friday and Saturday). The mother of one of our archaeologists passed away last week. Pray for Dennis, who gave her memorial service today and is coming right here after that.
The sky was blue with a slight breeze and a temperature of around 75. "Cooler weather" like this is expected for the next couple of days, which is just fine with us Northwesterners!
We are absolutely beat and are headed to nighty-night time. Hope this finds you well.
Thank you for reading this. If you have any questions you would like answered, just ask, and I will try to find an answer. (The next challenge will be to figure out where the questions show up.) Blazing new trails here!
