Oh Boy

I would first like to apologize for never posting any pictures or anything whatsoever other than long texts on this blog. I wish I could show you all the things I'm seeing but there's really no way for me to do it. I will however be making a little Flickr page with all my favorites when I get home and I'll throw the link up in the last post on this blog in case you'd like to see.

Now, I just wanted to let you all know what I'm up to this weekend. I'm planning on heading up to Tiberias and walking around the Sea of Galilee. I'll be leaving Friday morning pretty early and catch a Sheirut to Jerusalem, then I'll take a bus up to Tiberias; it'll probably be about a 2 and a half hour bus trip but it's only 40 Sheqel or so which is pretty cheap (about 12 dollars). I'll meet up with one of the Germans I've met and she'll show me around to good hiking trails and the like. On Saturday, I'd like to go over to Haifa but I may have to hitchhike to do so since no busses are running on Shabat. Spend a day in Haifa or Akko, whichever one I make it to, and then catch a late night bus down to Jerusalem. Now it says on the Egged website (the Israeli bus system) that buses pick up again about 30 minutes after Shebat ends on Saturday until 11 PM so hopefully I'll be able to catch one. I'll then end up in Jerusalem, spend the night there, then wake up early and get a bus to Bethlehem, than one to the farm for work. This all seems pretty rushed and it's kind of obnoxious that nothing works during Shebat but this may be my only chance to see North Israel. I'm kind of bummed out I won't be able to travel around more while I'm here, I really wish I had more time and money; but hey, who doesn't?
