The two folks they show in the photo are professors I had last semester who goaded/twisted my arm into joining them in Israel this coming summer as they go every year. This just makes me more excited for next year's expedition!

What boat?  They found a naval pier and a dry dock.  No boat.

Ooooh, they changed parts of the article.

Yes, they found a boat, the email I received said boat.

Evidently, I'm not allowed to be talking about it.

This never happened.

Carry on.

Neat! Acre has some pretty awesome history, and a looooong one at that. (I take it was an important center of trade well before Hellenic times.)

So you're gonna be in Israel next year? Around when? (I'm going down there soon, probably until spring.)

Most likely the entire month of July.

Oy, I probably won't be there anymore, but as you're probably aware it's going to be ridiculously hot outside the whole entire time.

Unfortunately yes. Nothing quite like going to the Middle East in the middle of the summer.

I'd rather be in the Mid East during summer than Texas at anytime of the year.

I don't actually understand why people live in Texas at all. They got there and said "SURE, THIS LOOKS HABITABLE!"  :?

I'm thinking that I'm going to be safer in Israel than Texas, as well.

The boat was from the napoleonic (sp?) era.
