My life in ruins!

Yes, working with ruins can be tiring with all the pick-axing and such, but there are so many things that pay off.  The work is fun when you're working with people who are just as into it as you, and the trips and activities we do after are amazing.  Yesterday after digging, we took the fastest showers of our lives, ate lunch, and went to Caesarea.  We saw Herod's port and hippodrome.  We went to the amphitheater in Caesaria, there was a rehearsal for a rock concert going on.  When they saw our group walking in, Israeli News Channel 10 came over with some famous reporter (who looked like Ozzy Osbourne ten years ago with aviators, a purple tie-dye shirt, and crazy long fried hair) and they asked us what we were doing there.  I said we were on a dig and the camera man came over and put the video recorder in my face.  Everyone else stepped back and I looked to our professor Will to answer the questions.  Then, I asked if we could walk around and they said yes.  I started up the stairs and looked back to find that the camera guy was on me and he filmed me walking over the whole places, chased me up the stairs, and weaved in and out of the entrances and exits like I did when I was trying to get away.  My friends Shawn and Shana were with me and we were dying laughing, because at one point I stopped and was suddenly aware that the camera guy had snuck up behind me and was filming a close up of me.  I fled back to our group and called it a day, but it was one of the funniest moments of my life.  Afterwards, we went the house of Rami, the boat driver and fellow (marine) archaeologist and had dinner there along with some of his other friends.  His place is on the beach of Caesaria in a kibbutz, and we stayed there for 4 or 5 hours, eating, drinking, and making friends.  Dror was there and I beat him in in ping pong twice in a row!  Today, we went to the Bahá'í Gardens in Haifa as well as the shrine.  It was hot and we wore long skirts and sleeves, but it was gorgeous.  We got ice cream, milkshakes, and coffees at a cafe close by and then went to the beach and had a very relaxing time.  Now, we're waiting for dinner (which starts in 2 minutes) so I have to run, but I am hoping to find some footage of my life as a celebrity at some point!  Shalom!!
