Dead Sea Your information about the Dead Sea and its drying up was very interesting. We always need to think about changes in the world and how they affect the land and people.
wow Hi Emily,
Thanks for another amazing blog. I always find it fascinating to see such exotic animals. The world is certainly full of unique creatures.
I was just sharing some info. with my HS students about a Kibutz. They were not familiar with the concept, and I wanted them to understand how a Kibutz operates. The idea that folks live and work together in one area is very hard to grasp, as we do not have this type of living in our area....I am so pleased you have been able to experience a different part of the world......
Wow! What an experience. Like going back to school for me . . . without having to travel. Your comments and pictures are amazing. The Great Crator, The plants, the colorful rocks, the animals. "Giant clay pot" (I liked that description).
I was on that mountain climbing right along with you, Emily.
Incredible Emily and family
The photos are just amazing. It looks as if you're all having a great time exploring and learning. Be safe. We love you

Emily, your former science class is enjoying seeing your updates. They have a couple of questions: How did they get the huge blocks to the top to build the buildings? Did the drag them up or use materials at the top? They also want to know where they got their water from.
Beautiful!!1 That was just wonderful,Em. I felt asif I was in the water with the fish. Sure is a lot more up close and personal than the Mote aquarium.
Lovely I enjoyed reading your comments about your visit to Eilat. The video of the coral reef was breathtakingly beautiful. Watching with the full screen was like being right there. Was the huge yellow fish you accidentally stepped on in the video? :-)
Terrific!!!!! Em Honey, Your pictures and commentary are really amazing. Who knew that an Ibex was real and not just an answer in a crossword puzzle. Really, really enjoying your Blog. LOVED that picture of your Mom worshipping the moon.
Lots and lots of love and many many hugs,
Bubbe
That's so cool! I would love to be in your shoes, but I'm not. Still, I plan to tell you about my experience in Europe. I guess my town is kind of old...if you think 200 years old is kind of old...still, pretty cool!:)
Okay, I need to ask questions Emily, thanks for the pictures and description of your trip to the Dead Sea. Unfortunately, because I'm a teacher I need to ask some questions:
1. I've heard various places that the level in the Dead Sea is dropping. Did you see any evidence of the levels being lower? Are people there worried? If so why (it isn't like it is a drinking water source)?
2. Do they harvest the salt at all or any other minerals that might be in high concentration?
fantastic!!! Em,
What wonderful pictures. Your commentaries were really interesting to read. Especially enjoyed reading about the dead sea, but a mouthful....YUK! Thanks so much for keeping us up on all your adventures. We love U and Miss U

Wonderful As we drove North to Presque Isle this past week - I was amazed to see how the world truly appeared to be blanketed by untouched snow. Today, I took a look at your pictures and saw just the opposite. The desert, mountains and the sea are quite beautiful. I love how you describe the Dead Sea, and I now know gulping the water is not on your suggested "to do " list.......
I look forward to reading all of your blogs. They are both entertaining and informative.....
amazing description Hi Emily!
WOW...I felt like I was right there with you on the Dead Sea...I could even taste the salt (yuck) and float there right along with you. Your pictures are beautiful, you're quite a photographer. How would you feel if I shared this with my 6th grade science teacher? Maybe even with Zoe's class. Miss you and love you.
Hi Emily! Thank you for sharing this very interesting tour with me! Your writing is beautiful as are the photos. I miss you and your family. What's new?

Nazareth
Emily, Your writing is very descriptive. Loved reading about your visit to Nazareth. The photographs were very professional. I can't wait for Chapter III. :-)
I'm fascinated! Hi Emulee - I am already hooked on your blog after just one entry. Your descriptions are wonderful. Will you stay in contact with the other Fulbright families? Have you made any friends your age yet? How do you think this experience will change you? We miss you guys so much -- but I can't wait to hear more about your new (6 month) home. -- Emma's mom
Wonderful I love how you describe exactly what you are seeing. It brings Israel right to ME. It sounds like you are having a wonderful adventure! I love seeing all the pictures. I know all of your friends will be so excited to see all of this when we return to school after our Feb. vacation...
Keep up the good work! Emily - great reporting and photos! You have gotten to visit some places that I didn't get to go. Keep up your great reporting - tell everyone hi!
