Citizenship!

Wow, so much has been happening since my last post and life has been crazy! I think I've been busier than ever but it's all been good, so here's an update:

The last place I dug with my dad and sister was the first week of Tel Dan. Here's some photos from the dig and of the area:

 

 

 

During the dig we stayed on a Moshav, which is an agricultural village. This one has a dairy farm and we got a tour:

During the dig, we went to Jerusalem for my Aliyah appointment... and I am officially an Israeli citizen! So, much of my current busyness is connected with all I have to do post-Aliyah.

We toured Agrippa's palace and other parts of the Banias Springs Nature Reserve. Here are some photos:

After the dig, we traveled back to Haifa where we stayed for a couple nights before my dad and sister went back to the States. We stopped at some sites along the way, including Rosh Haniqra, on the border with Lebanon and known for its grottoes:

Currently I am living in Yafo (Tel Aviv) and working at a hostel. I will begin school in October at Tel Aviv University for my MA in Archaeology. Until then, I'm trying to soak up the benefits of living in Yafo!
