Tomorrow should be a interesting day from this experience.
Today I have my religion class and its the old testiment. The teacher spend time in Israel and has lots of photographs. But we talked about Abraham leaving his home of Ur and exactly where that is. So I really enjoy the class!!!
The remains of Ur are called today "Tell el-Mukayyar" and can be found near the city of Nasiriyah, south of Baghdad in modern day Iraq. A Tell is city ruin. In class we learned that under the top city there are many layers of ruins. I thought it was interesting.
