Shalom#37

THANK GOODNESS:   FALSE ALARM!!!

While we were on the Geography Field trip with the students....right after our experience with the Cat.....and just as Dr. Skinner is ending up his remarks...we hear a loud air raid siren go off in one part of  Jerusalem.....and then across the valley another siren goes off and then at least several more went off in different locations of the valley.  We looked at each other and said, "Oh,Oh, we are sitting ducks here on this hillside out in the open.!'  We watched and waited  for 
Dr. Skinner to make some comment but he just keep talking like nothing was happening.  Bob quickly calls the Jerusalem Center Security to see what we should do and of course the students were starting ask us "what's this mean?".   
Fortunately it was a False Alarm.....it did raise some concerns realizing that Gaza and the war is only 45 miles away in Gaza.
