"Shabbat Shalom, y'all"

^This is what my friend Austin said all day yesterday as Sabbath was starting. It's funniest when you read it with a real Southern accent.

So it's finally Shabbat, which means no digging today, thank goodness. I've definitely slowed down, and my energy saps much more quickly than it used to. Even the joints in my hands hurt from gripping tools. Basically, this is a much-needed day of rest. Last night was a party night, and today we could eat breakfast anywhere between 8-10. Unfortunately, my body woke me up this morning at 4:30 (drat this sleep cycle), and I napped a bit until 6:30. This afternoon we're going to the Mediterranean Sea for a swim, and then afterward we're going to Caesarea to see Idan Raichel Project in concert in a theater built by Herod off the Mediterranean coast. Here's a picture of the theater: http://images.fineartamerica.com/images-medium-large/caesareas-amphitheater-hugs-michael-melford.jpg. Apparently tickets go lightning-quick, so Jodi's being able to get tickets for a group our size during the week of this concert is pretty amazing. It's going to be incredible, or so we've been told. I am excited.
I might take a nap now. Or read. Or go sit outside and do nothing. I have a whole glorious three hours to do anything I want. It's beautiful.
