Today was a pretty extreme day. We left last night at 11 o'clock to head to the airport. Our flight left at like 1:30 so we had some time to walk around and get some food. None of that is important.
I tried to sleep on the plane but was unsuccessful. Then I tried to sleep on the bus but was unsuccessful. By the time we got to the aqueducts I was completely out of it. I didn't even realize that we were getting off the bus until over half the people had gotten off. It was pretty cool to see something that old that was such an amazing engineering feat for its time.
We went to breakfast at some small place that was pretty decent. The cereal was good.
We also saw a Roman theater, a Hippodrome, Herod's castle, a Crusader's castle, and some beaches, but I can't remember if that was before or after breakfast. It was such a long day. This all happened in Caeserea.
One of the coolest parts of the day for me was going up to Mount Caramel. It was awesome to be able to see places where all of these great biblical events happened. It's starting to hit me now just how special an experience like this really is.
After Mount Caramel we went to Nazareth. We took a tour of the Nazareth Village, which is supposed to be a representation of what it was like in Jesus' time. It was alright. A little boring.
It's 8:30pm and I'm about to go to bed and end one of the longest days of my life.
Goodnight.
