| Getting some help in KK |
The newbies were out in the trench today. KK got 3 new vict…er… volunteers: Pamela, Rebecca, and George (adding to Christy, Debbie, Alex, Mike, Bill, Bob, Jennifer, and Zanna)

The back hoe showed up and did in one day what would take us 3 weeks to do. Most interestingly, it uncovered a hole that never seemed to end. Jennifer was going to just leave it, but I was curious, so I first attempted to take a flashlight to it – I still couldn’t see where the bottom was. Then I got the plumb-bob and dropped it down, holding onto the string. My arm was all the way in the hole before it reached the bottom. We then measured it—it was 4 meters down. Yossi
{one of the dig leaders} thinks it’s a
sewer.
{2011 - I've been curious about the 4 meter hole for years, and I finally looked up what they found. Turns out it wasn't a sewer, but the opening to an underground grain storage room. Neat find as it was a fully walled and ceilinged room! The link takes you to a drawing of how it worked back in the day.}

| Sunset at Caesarea Maritima. |
After lunch Julie
{Demo}, Joni, Jason, and I went swimming, and then we went to pottery reading. I took a nap until dinner and then after dinner watched the sunset and took a picture. I went to the club and then to bed at 12:00.
