Greetings from Caesarea! Classrooms Without Borders and Holy Family Academy have teamed up to send me to Israel for a 12 day archaeological field study. I am grateful for this life- changing opportunity. In addition to coordinating educational & cultural affairs and teaching cultural literacy at Holy Family Academy, I studied theology at Saint Vincent College. So, this trip is the culmination of years of academic rigor and the eternal pursuit of curiosity. Already I see myself bringing these experiences from Israel into my classroom: perspective cultivated in a land of beauty, honest dialogue shared in community, and wisdom gained by first- hand experience.
Our whirlwind adventure began as our flight touched-down in Tel Aviv and immediately we hit the ground running. As we departed Ben Guiron Airport, our group of 12 ventured north to Caesarea, the city built upon sand by the incomparable Herrod the Great.
Standing before the two aqueducts of Caesarea, I marveled at the craftsmanship. It's magnificent--Such a marvel of engineering!
