Just some New pictures

These are some more pictures from when a group of us went to Tel-Aviv!

Watching the Sun Set on the beach...amazing!

Having fun on the Boarwalk!

In EN KAREM- its this area that is very European Looking!They have a bunch of churchs and cafe's there to see. Its amazing and so Beautiful! 5 of us went to this AMAZING place for lunch where we sat outside on the patio and had such a fun time with being justg with girls.

Where ever you go in En Karem you have to hike up to get there, but the whole time you see this beautiful view!

This is Bethlehem!! We spent a day there, and went to Bethlehem University and got to talk with students, went to a lecture,
saw the church of Nativity where Christ was born, and went to Shepards Field at night to celebraste Christmas! hehe. We had a Christmas program. It was such an awesome night! This is the place we ate for lunch-it was probably the BEST meal I have eaten here! and it was soooo fun! It was in a tent, and had a very middle eastern feel., I loved it! We ate tons of humus and pita with different dips, veggies, and lamb and chicken.

Celebrating Porim-A Jewish Holiday where everone dresses up! These are my friends Aleni and Kara ( She's from Hawaii! )

About to go out for Porim!

This is my friend ALi, we finally got put on the same bus together and were so excited! So we had to take pictures of this happy moment!

This is us dressed up for a night out on the town for Porim. Which is a Jewish Holiday where people dress up and celebrate the whole night. Its kind of like a mix of Marde Gras and Halloween for us.

Heres some new pictures that I took and got from friends! This week has been killer with finals non stop! and it won't end until friday! I probably will being doing cartwheels of joy once we are done, and get to have a break! I can't belive time is going so fast and before I know it I'll be back in the states with a full Summer semester ahead of me and lots of exiting things as well. I look forward to it, but am loving my time here! It just gets better and better here!

At King Herod's Temple-these are actual stones that the Savior walked on in the temple! Wow am I lucky!

Basketball with the Locals! haha ( i know it's a funny picture of me, but o well )

This is normal in the Old City...

One day to get away from all the studing for finals-which have been killer! Wer went and just played in the city! It was a blast and we met so many people! We went out to lunch at this super nice place where the owner loved us and gave us discounts and catered to us,played basketball with the locals,and just had a blast!

This is what I want for Christmas- a new Digital camera for photography-one of my new passions! I always steal my friends and just go play-take tons of pictures!

PICTURES FROM JORDAN!

In front of the Mosque we went to.

We went to the biggest Mosque in Jordan, and they made all the girls wear black dresses with their head covered...it was....interesting?!?!?!

I felt like a life sucker wearing this....

On top of what they call " the end of the world" you can't really see but im standing on the edge of the cliff...the view was amazing! With my friends Stephen and Matt



National Geographic?? hah.

This little girl was one the cutest little girls i have ever seen. As i was running down the mountain jamming out to my Ipod i passed her and instantly she melted me heart. She had money in one hand and necklaces she was selling in the other...she was only like THREE YEARS OLD! I didn't want to buy a necklace so instead I gave her my dried Mango i had with me. She instantly ate it up. Then he mom came up, so I gave her some too. They were so grateful because they have nothing and live in shacks in the mountains of petra. Its so sad. But she was adorable! It was one of my highlights of my trip!

Me hiking down the mountains of Petra!

The TREASURY of PETRA!!

Just got back From JORDAN!

Took this picture in an old roman citadel that we visited . These pillars are about 40 ft high, and thousands of years old.

About to start our day in PETRA ( wearing the INDIANA JONES HAT like the movie )

I Just got back from JORDAN and LOVED IT! It was an awesome trip! I will add more pictures and blog about it later! Hope everything is going great! Love ya'll
