Part of the studies at IBEX include gaining a full
appreciation for the ancient world - and on this day we chose to see how the
Philistines enjoyed their beach city of Ashkelon :-). Surely they built
sand castles, played football and swam against the Mediterranean riptides!

|
 |
Maybe Philistine kids built replicas of the
Egyptian pyramids in the sand. Amy and Sarah did. |
|
Josh and Leo "escorted" a couple of their lady
friends (Carol and Grace) to the waves. |
 |
|
 |
Nate is much buffer than most people
think. |
|
Carol got caught on the wrong end of a sand fight with
Josh. |
 |
|
 |
Preston built lots of neat things in the sand
including the Herodium. |
|
Luke and John shower off after playing football in the
dunes. |
 |
|
 |
Josh and Leo rinse off. Look at Josh's
face :-). |
|
Craig served up bbq-ed hamburgers to fill pitas for our
dinner. |
