Alyssa's blog!

Hello readers!

Today we started out doing some volunteer work around the MEEI campus. The building we worked on will eventually be part of the college section of the campus. We split into several crews, working on sanding the walls, sweeping and cleaning, and painting the classrooms. We worked for about three hours and finished sanding and painting (first coat) 4 classrooms and we also swept and cleaned almost an entire floor of the building. We will be doing more work monday morning.

After lunch we headed out to the ruins of Caesarea. We learned a little about the theater there, Herod's theater, and walked around the rest of the ruins. Then we took a little swim in the Mediteranian Sea. It was very hot in Caesarea so going swimming was very refreshing. We then had ice cream for dinner and headed back to Ibillin. Tonight we attended the middle school graduation on campus. There were some very nice dancers that performed and Father Chacour also spoke during the ceremony.

Overall, we're having a great time! Hope you continue reading. =)
See you when we get back!
