Trip to an archeological site

---

Feb 17
On tusday we went to a archeological site called tell Tel Bersheva. It is a very old village that went all the way back the iron age the whole thing was made of clay bricks rocks and plaster it needed to be very strong because in those days enemies were always trying to attack under the village was a old water system we had to were hard hats because the water system was like a cave and it had falling rocks it was a little scary at first because the rock stairs were steep and it was sort of dark but it was probably one of the most strange things I have ever dun . Then there was a sand storm it blew every were it even blew the hard hats right of are head it was like a really strong wind mixed with when someone kicks a howl lot of sand in the air it was really crazy looking it was the first sand storm I have ever ben in at night we went to south pisific a play about world war 2 me and Emily used to lisen to it when we went to bed at the end of the show a tour bus came and and all the people on the bus had to leave right befor certin call but the play was great. The play was in englash

Your comments about visiting the archeological site in Tel Bersheva makes me want to visit there one day. The pictures are an added treat.

Wow
Tel Beersheva looks really cool. Nice to see pictures of you. Is it cold or hot - you have a sweater on? Did you run and hide when the sand storm picked up?:)

Beautiful Pictures
It looks like a really exciting place to visit Abby. I would love to visit this city as well. Hope we get the same class next year. I love your pictures - beats the snow up here.
