Today I had to say goodbye to dear JUC and the remaining students and Dr. Wright and Diane. It was a good morning though, Liz treated me like a Queen, and baked us cookies! We had Mac and Cheese for lunch, with Avocados and peppers. Then we made fresh squeezed lemonade. We played some card games, and went to Teddy Park with Moriah, where we ran through the fountains and got thoroughly soaked! After showers and hanging our cloths out to dry, we drank lemonade in the garden for a while and talked. It was nice, but quite hard to drive off and leave it all. I am at the airport now, and just met up with my professor. It feels odd to be in Ben Gurion Airport and not be heading home yet! I have a feeling it will be hard not to miss home a lot this next month and a half, but it will work out, I'm sure. I'll try and update again after we get to Shimron and start our routine there!
Gathering GPR data at Cane Notch, TN. I certainly learned a lot about GPR while in Tennessee! The first day we gathered data, we only did one 20x20 Grid. By our last day, however, we finished four grids in about for hours. Hopefully we will be able to cut the time down a bit more at Shimron, and we will be working full days. The red box is where the antenna are, sending and receiving radio waves. The results show up on the screen which I am carrying. This control is also what we use to start and stop data collection, as well as set certain factors, like how deep we want to record data etc. Today I received my student visa for Israel, which means I am all set to fly in a week! Now if I can finish the mapping assignments due upon arrival, I will be golden. I am glad to have a chance to learn about the land a bit more before going there though, it is an enjoyable assignment!
