While all of us on the trip are very interested in
archaeology, sometimes some of our favorite moments have nothing to do with the
discipline. Today's highlights for me were pancakes and pomegranates. We began
the morning dragging a little, but perked up after Dr. Ebeling promised
pancakes to the student who found the most interesting feature as we were
tagging. Eventually we learned that the rumors about pancake Thursdays at the
kibbutz were true and that we were all going to participate. We were excited to
eat something different from our usual breakfast fare, and probably put a
little too much syrup on our pancakes because we were a bit loopy after
breakfast. We had been working for awhile when I discovered that some of the
girls had been putting pomegranates into my backpack without my noticing, and
the game began. We were working near a pomegranate tree and eventually the goal
was to get a pomegranate into every adult's backpack without them noticing. It
was a lot of fun and a nice way to distract ourselves from the heat. We recorded
many cisterns today, as well as a few interesting tombs. Today was a very nice
and lighthearted second-to-last day at Jezreel!
