28 September - Jericho Field Trip

DESERT MADNESS.

Wow, the weather in Turkey was so nice, and we came back to the same beating sun. We drove out to Jericho, and stopped at this gorge with a monastery built into the cliffs and caves. IT WAS SO HOT...and it was only 9 am at this point.

Jericho was surprisingly green because of the large spring here...it is also the oldest city in the world (probably). We talked about the city wall falling down.  I was about to die of heat and sun exposure so that's all I remember.  Oh, I also took some mosaic tiles that I found in some ruins in Herod's palace...so I have those.
