on the bus...

over the past two weeks of our trip we have definitely spent more time on the bus than your average field-tripping student.

as we travel over ridges and through wadis, we find ourselves moving all around the bus. each ride places you in a different spot talking to different people. on behalf of some of our most memorable "bus buddies" we would like to post some of the haiku that they wrote.

Jerusalem

Hey, Jerusalem

You are the best place we've been

Yay! Jerusalem!

(this one was a little rough, they were still learning the technique)

David and Goliath

Poor nine foot giant
As the stone sinks within
I lop off your head

Carl

Wisdom like a spring
Your wadi never runs dry
We've drawn from your well

(dedicated to our professor, this haiku contains the theme of all three water systems in israel)
