Easter in the Holy Land 2011

This Easter was one to remember.  The whole week has been insane since it's Passover and over 100,000 tourists came to Jerusalem to celebrate.

We went to the sunrise service at the Garden Tomb at 6:30. It was awesome! I was even interviewed for CBN news which was pretty crazy. I never get picked for stuff like that! Then I waited for another service at Christ's Church later on in the morning. The rest of the day was studying for my final (which I have today) and sitting out in the sun.

Then around 4pm we did an Easter Egg hunt on campus :D Yes, we are all in our 20s or orlder and still doing egg hunts! Of course! What else would we do on Easter? Then after dinner there was a choire from the Faroe Islands at a nearby church and a group of us went to go have a listen. They were pretty good but I was exhausted from having to wake up at 4am that morning. And now I want to visit the Faroe Islands. They look stunning!

Baking Honey Cake

Tonight is the Triclinium meal at school. Yesterday Annie and I got together to make honey cake. Apparently it was something that was eaten at the time of the Bible. I called for a whole CUP of honey in the recipe! It was amazing thick and almost rubbery :D

Regardless, it was still a lot of fun to bake again. I didn't realize that I missed it!

Waiting around....

And finally the end product! Finished!
