Post from Israel #1

I made it alive!
We finally got unlimited internet, so I am going to update everyone.
We flew into Tel Aviv yesterday evening and checked into a hotel on the Mediterranean.
This morning we left Tel Aviv and visited Ceasarea Maritania, Mt. Carmel, Megiddo, and Sepphoris before heading down to the Sea of Galilee at Tiberias.
Having lived here for a semester, seeing sites for whole days, it is a bit disconcerting the pace at which we must travel. For example, at IBEX we saw Ceasarea and Mt. Carmel in one whole day.
I am having a great time taking pictures, videotaping and generally "gopering" for Dr. House. (This is mostly for Bill - I bought a LowePro Primus for the trip, and it is awesome. I took it as a carry-on because I was not about to check my D50. If you are looking for a day pack that also carries a camera, I highly reccomend it).
The weather is in the 90's but breezy, and very hazy. When we were on Carmel you could barely see across the plain toward Nazareth.
I have to go, but I'll post more as I have time.
