We had a 6:30 wake-up call this morning. We had to be packed up by 8:00 so we could set our luggage outside to be taken downstairs. We thought they would take it to our bus, but they only took it to the lobby.
I bought 10 postcard stamps and sent the free postcard from the room to my parents.
We got on our way a little after 9:00. Dr. Germano had rented a car earlier in the morning, so he followed the bus. The first place we stopped was Jaffa. I got to see the Mediterranean Sea good for the first time.

We were going to stop at Dor and Mt. Carmel, but we were running out of time, so we stopped in Haifa for lunch and continued on to Safed. On the way we saw many mountains and beautiful landscape. Sarah Campbell and I decided that we will probably try to go climb a mountain next Sunday, July 4th, since it is our only free day to ourselves.
We got to Safed and the Gesher House in the late afternoon. I am staying in the Villa (room 30) with Mark Schaffer, David Morker, and Walter Perez. Dinner was at 7:00. We had a meeting at 8:00. Our wake-up call is around 4:00 in the morning for our first day on the Tel.

Sorry for such a delay in posting and updating this. I'm hoping to keep up and hopefully have it finished before the 20th anniversary of our return back to the United States later this summer. The biggest effort is in typing up my handwritten journal.
