The Biblical Gardens!

Sorry for not blogging about this the day I went, but I'd like to tell you about it. So, when we got there, we split into two groups. So we start to walk *tra la la la la* and we get to a well. Our guide, Hadas, was telling us about the story when the servant of Abraham was looking for Isaccs wife and found her by a well. She said that she offered to pull up 100 buckets of water for the camels and the servants. Hadas told us that that was very hard to do. We each got to pull up water from the well called a 'sistern'. It was suprisingly heavy. Next we went to herd some sheep. The only thing I can say is that it was a disaster! My old humanities teacher, Mr. Jackson, got butted by this huge ram! Hilarious! So after the DISASTUROUS herding, we kept walking and saw an olive press, made perfume out of olive oil, and ground up spices. On the way to the place where we were going to eat, we saw these pretty yellow flowers that Hadas said tasted sour. Sour? Well, you can pick them and chew on the stems, and they taste very sour! Not sour, but yummy, candy-ish sour! YUM! OOPS! Got to go! See ya!
