Well, I just got back from a little excursion in the Judean desert. A couple of us from the Ecole Biblique went to Marsaba, which is a 4th century monestry. Next to Saint Cathrines in the Sinai, it is the oldest, continually occupied monestry in the world. In total, we walked about 30 kms through desert and crossed many intesting things along the way, including an Israeli tank base and their "playground." Good thing it was Shabbat..... All the pictures to our little excursion are posted above (duh).
