This was probably our biggest/longest day of the trip. We started early in Tel Aviv and ended up in a Bedouin tent in the Judean Desert near Masada and the Dead Sea. Highlights:
- Left Tel Aviv to visit the Clore Gardens (an outdoor Exploratorium) at the Weizmann Institute of Science in the city of Rehovot.
- Continue our focus on hands-on learning with a real archeological dig in the Bell Caves of Beit Guvrin, all carved from stone over 2000 yrs ago. Everyone found pottery shards that had not been seen by human eyes for 2200 years!
- Drove to Bedouin tents in Judean Desert and had a traditional Bedouin meal. Everyone slept in one giant tent that night--don't worry, Bathea and I slept in between the boys and the girls. We have a wake-up time of 3:45am so we can get to Masada to see the sunrise.
