Day 68

Well- Today was our final church service in Tyre for this trip. Sean preached. Then we had to say goodbye to Said, Hanan, and the kids, as well as Mahmoot and some of the Palestinian children. We try to make it easier by thinking that we will be back... but we don't know what the Lord wills at this time. After  church we had lunch and then Walid and Said stopped by the Hippodrome so that we could at least see it for a minute. Sean said that we went faster than any chariot that had ever been there! The wind was too cold to have Isaiah out. We so wish we could've stayed longer. We did get to see the triumphal arch. Being from a country where our history only dates back 250 years, it is unreal to walk through a house that is 2000 years old. I wish that I could some how see the history of where I walked today. We didn't have a guide, but it didn't matter... it was beautiful.
When we got back to Beirut, we didn't have electricity (they aren't supposed to cut it off on Sunday's... surprise!) so Sean and I walked down to Cafe Younes... but it was so crowded, we just walked back. Everyone took a nap except me. It seems as if the evening has flown by so quickly. Tomorrow we will finish our packing and go to bed early so that we will be rested for our travel. I can't believe our time here has gone by so fast.
