Moving on

So the time at St. George's College is ended. We had a bus trip to Emmaus for a place to celebrate the Lord's Supper - looking over the roads that lead 6 miles back to the city. Here (it's one of 4 traditional locations) Jesus became known to two disciples after the resurrection - in the breaking of the bread. Our travel group - all Christians - indeed has formed a sense of community and Jesus' presence with us.
Not to be all serious, we had a talent show at 5 p.m. with many spoofs of our leaders as well as "talent." As an example, one of the Welsh ladies and I led the singing of "Kookabourrouh sits in the old gum tree" - we were delighted that such a silly song spans the continents! Our group - mainly Cincinnati folks - included 2 Canadians, 2 New Zealanders, 2 UK citizens...40 of us in all.
By amazing good fortune, one of our leaders has arranged for me to spend two days with the Sisters of Nazareth - and a chance to see excavations in that town as well as the churches. I don't know if I will have access to a computer. AFter that I go to Haifa for a couple days before the DIG in Tiberias.
This morning I went to the Rockefeller Museum, established in the 1930's as a repository for ancient artifacts - and I mean ancient - like 200,000 BCE! Ice Age humans... Egyptian influence in the land of Canaan - 19th Dynasty/Ramses III and then the more recent 3000 years. Puts a different slant on time. The most important holdings of this museum have been moved to the Israel Museum - but those exhibits were closed at this time.
