Hezekiah's Tunnel!

About a month ago we went on a field trip through Hezekiah's tunnels and it was probably one of my favorite field trips. Our Ancient Near Eastern professor gave us a lesson and then we watched a 15 minute video about how this land was over 2000 years ago. We then climbed down stairs and jumped into the tunnel. The first step into the water was freezing and the whole time we were hitting our heads on the tip of the rocks as it got lower, and running into the walls because it was so dark in the tunnel but it was awesome!

Some of us overlooking Jerusalem before entering the tunnels

This was telling us how far up the water goes in the tunnel and it wasnt exagerating
Brother Skinner... he is hilarious and such a great teacher!
Lindsey and I in the tunnelBreana, Linds, Shelby and I just chilin in the tunnel (i promise we werent on drugs although it kind of looks like we were...haha)
We made it out! and notice the legs and the really short shorts behind us.. yes that is a boy and he decided to roll his pants up as much as possible so they wouldnt get wet. oh and I dont know if you have heard of a granola but that is def what I was being called all day because of the nice t-shirt with my sweet camping pants and chacos. haha gotta love those granola days!
and then they broke out in a water fight and acted like monkeys...
after the field trip bryan, linds and I decided to stay in the city and just wander around and we found some neat churches and sites we hadnt been too.
as you can tell from our pictures we had a lot of fun with the self timer...

and finding creative ways to hang the camera to do the self timer.. haha gotta love the self timer
