.......Done!

So, today was the last day of our dig, which is sort of misleading, because no one dug today. Yesterday and today were "compound days" which is where we sort, mark, store, scan, record, dump, sort, and separate pottery and bones that have been found through out this season at Ashkelon. Tyler is looking forward to sharing all that he has learned these past three weeks with family and friends, but most importantly with his future students. (He was asked to present a lecture on the Philistines). My ankle is better and I am walking around, our prayers were that I would be able to walk out of Ashkelon, and that is exactly what I will be able to do!

We leave on Saturday for Jerusalem to see the museums, since Saturday is Shabbat and nothing, but the museums are open.

Pictures from the last few days!

    Hi,
    We are so glad you will be able to walk when you leave Ashkelon! I am sure you will enjoy the museums. It will be a good way to ease back into walking for Cathy and for Tyler to get more info for his presentation! Have fun! Love and prayers.
