Right now, everyone on Bus 937 is hanging out in the lobby of a hotel in Tiberius, Israel. You can tell by the dark circles under everyone’s eyes that we are very exhausted by the crazy two days that we have had. The plane ride was long and, thankfully, pretty quiet. The food, however, was another story. When we finally landed, everyone was awake and anxious to get out into the beautiful country of Israel. We got our phones, exchanged all our money, and hopped on the bus.
About 45 minutes later, we arrived in Caesarea, a very Roman part of Israel. We learned about the history of this incredible place and it’s long story of the people who lived there. We saw the hippodrome where people used to sit and watch men race horses and even gladiator fights. Along with these sights, we also saw a theater that, to this day, is still used for concerts and such.
We sat in a circle in Caesarea with all of our new friends and acquaintances and started to get to know each other. While the group is still in the process of mixing the students of MSU and UCF, the people on the trip are great and hopefully relaxing in the hotel for the night will do just that.
