You went to ALL Christian schools? All of them? Wowza, and I thought my schoolin was tough! ;P
I've gone to all Christian schools: a Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod grade school (K-8) with @Maellio, a Roman Catholic high school run by the Dominican Sisters (also with @Maellio), an Evangelical Lutheran Church in America university, and an ELCA seminary. Most of them have been good experiences. I had the most trouble in grade school because the LCMS and ELCA (which I am a part of) don't always get along. High school was academically tough, but I feel that most of my growth as an individual happened there. The religion department at the university really challenged and stretched me, but prepared me well for seminary.
Anywho, to keep on topic, a few pictures from my January class trip to Israel and Palestine: At the Mount of Beatitudes
Under a double rainbow at the Church of the Primacy of St. Peter at Tabgha, on the Sea of Galilee.
Atop the mountain fortress of Masada.
And finally, floating in the Dead Sea. Yes, it is VERY VERY salty. Hence the face.
Everiine is a man, and is very manly. This MAN before you is so manly you might as well just gender bend right now, cause he's the manliest man that you ever did see. His manly shape has spurned many women and girlyer men to boughs of fainting. He stands before you in a manly manerific typical man-like outfit which is covered in his manly motto: "I am a man!"

Pony power all the way, yo. The more Brontaurs the better.
I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm reading the phrase 'went to all Christian schools' as suggesting that you have gone to each and every single Christian school...

But yes @Everiine regale us with your fancy trip >.=.<
And convince me Pejat doesn't look like Anderson, while I have your attention
Oooooh, I see it now. I was wondering who you thought he looked like. But worry not, @Pejat, the friend Mael is thinking of looks much more like a caveman.

I can't hold back asking, why are you still wearing your shoes in the dead sea!?
Maybe its a very rocky area. We wear shoes sometimes for river floats and stuff, if it hurts too much to walk barefoot.
That's exactly it. Not only is it rocky, but the thick mineral deposits on the sea floor can be quite sharp, so we were advised to wear a pair of shoes we didn't mind throwing away if we were going to go in.

Something tells me an open wound in the Dead Sea would be the quintessential "suck".
We were explicitly told not to shave that day for that reason. I had shaved the day before and stubble was coming in, but it STILL burned like hell when the water splashed on my neck.

That's pretty intense - I live on the ocean, and I've never felt a regret over shaving from the water. That's some serious saltiness - I don't think I'd get in, just because of the salty crud that coats the skin afterwards. Yuck.

Well, dead sea is notorious for its saltiness... to the point where you don't sink in it.
Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it.

Normal oceans are 3.5% salinity. The Dead Sea is 33.7% salinity. Huge difference. We definitely had to shower after we got out (there are showers up and down the beach for the purpose), but the combination and concentration of the salt and minerals in the Dead Sea actually make the water very good and healing for the skin--as long as you stay in 15 minutes or less, after which it doesn't help anymore. There is a huge business in mining the minerals and making skin products with it, which is why the Dead Sea level is rapidly falling, about a meter a year.

That was the joke I was making!

I'm sure I'd be the sort to wave from shore...
Because I can't decide if I want to stay on Fluer or Rouse
