Friday- by Shelby and Flora

Today was a calmer day than we’ve had recently. At the beginning of our hike we visited the Grotto of Pan, which is where they had sacrifices and the blood ran into the river, which was pretty tight. The beginning of the trail was located at Caesarea Philippi, which is where Jesus asked the important question “who am I?” and Simon Peter answered “the son of the living God”. Hiking through the vegetation reminded us of home because of the green all around us, which felt like hiking in August in Seattle, and there was actually shade! After a nice lunch by the river we went to see the beautiful Banias Waterfall, which was tiny but prettier than we expected. We were disappointed when we found out when couldn’t swim in the river, but luckily we were given the option to go to a pool, which was much appreciated. Like we said we didn’t do all that much, except Shelby got a little tanner, which made her happy because it is a rare occurrence. It was a nice change of pace (and we didn’t have to go to another church!)
