Days 1 & 2 – Thursday – Friday, June 6-7: Depart U.S., Arrive in Israel, Tel Aviv, Netanya
For most in the group, today was departure day for Israel. The flight was long, but everyone arrived at the Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv just fine. We were met by Shlomo (our guide) and David (our driver). Also, the three who dug at Shiloh (Dr. John, Erik, and Paul) were waiting at the airport as well (they came directly from the dig Friday afternoon).
We drove to our hotel in Netanya. After checking in, we enjoyed an amazing Shabbat Dinner. Following this great meal, many walked down to the beach of the Mediterranean Sea. We are all looking forward to our first full day tomorrow.
“While a few enjoyed a week of digging already at Shiloh, the rest in the group arrived safely. We drove to our hotel in Netanya and enjoyed a wonderful Shabbat Dinner. We are looking forward to our first full day tomorrow.”
