Are you curious about what we will be doing during the 2010 season?
Most of our work will be to the east of the church.

With less than two weeks to go before the dig, team members are starting to post to their blogs. Dr. Chambers is already in Israel and having great adventures. Kristina Neumann is experiencing pottery training in Rome. You can find them at http://virtualdig.org.
In three weeks the team will be in the air and on the way to Tel Aviv! Packing lists have been distributed; instructions for travel given. Now the challenge . . . make it all fit into two suitcases.
We will begin excavation with a team of 25 volunteers. Watch the Virtual Dig for more info.
Couldn’t pass up the opportunity of a picture of Kristina Neumann (below) in front of this ad for Neumann University!

The best parts about the Philly airport: Dunkin’ Donuts, MacDonald’s bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit, and chairs without arms that facilitated sleeping!

She looked so perky in the previous photo! Here’s Kristina (above) getting some good R & R.

Liz and Caleb are gonners, but Alex looks very perky! He must have slept better on the 12 hour flight from Tel Aviv.
On Thursday evening, after seeing Rachel off to the airport, the “remnant” had dinner together at En Gev’s Fish Restaurant. We arrived in time to watch the sunset.

Sunset watching was a fav activity in the evenings throughout the season. Here are Glenn and John poised to get the best photo on our last evening:
