This morning I went to the work site and felt pretty good the whole time. After breakfast though I came back with Eva and Jason (the supervisor for the pottery) to label pottery.
Imagine trying to write with a felt tip pen on thousands of year old pottery that is dirty. It sucks...Eva and I are convinced that there is a portion of Hell dedicated directly to pottery labeling. Not only is it rather difficult but it also makes this terrible scratchy sound. Woah...what a crappy time.
Today there was an exchange of hostages, don't know if you heard about it in the news. It was between two Israeli soldiers and many Lebanese soldiers, both of the Israeli soldiers were deceased : http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/meast/07/16/israel.swap/
It's a pretty big deal here and the woman that was watching the news with me kept saying to me "Ugly world...very ugly world we live in." Hmm...it is strange to be somewhere where these things are real and in your face. Jason said that while on the one hand it's a good thing that Israel will do anything to get their soldiers back, it can also create some pretty bad negotiations, like the one here. Check out the news story for details.
Actually looking back over my blog I feel convicted about my comment on pottery labeling when I've got things so good. It'll really put things in perspective I suppose to look around myself more often. Well I'm off for now...
