So I forgot to blog yesterday. FAIL. Yesterday was so much
fun! But the best part is that nothing went as we planned (yay for flexibility)
so we were able to see and experience many things that we would not have been
able to experience otherwise! First, some friends and I went to go find the
swimming pool so that we could swim laps and just have a good time and we
walked for like 15 to 20 minutes and couldn’t find it so we walked back. Turns out
we were sooo close to it! But it was good because now we know where the pool is
and we got a pretty good workout on some hills. Then, a large part of the group
went into Jerusalem to do some extra credit for Archaeology class. We spent two
hours getting into Jerusalem, which usually takes 40 minutes to get into. It
was so funny! But it was cool because we got to go across a bridge that is
supposed to resemble a harp because David played one.This is a picture of that bridge.
Also it turned out that when we finally made it to the
museum that we were sent to, it had been closed for 2 years. And yes, there was
still a sign for the museum. It was hilarious. Though, they did have nice air
conditioning in the building which we got to experience for around a minute.
After that, we went to a shopping mall near Jaffa Gate in
the Old City and stayed there for a little while before heading home. By this
time, we assumed that we had figured out the bus system. Little did we know
that we would have even more difficulty getting back home! I have absolutely no
idea how long it took but I know that we literally ran after a bus and did not
make it but it was so much fun! We were all laughing like crazy people! It was
seriously so fun! Well after being on the right side of the road, switching to
the wrong side and realizing about an hour later then switching back to the
right side of the road, we were finally able to get onto the bus and make our way
home.
Oh, I met three Israeli girls yesterday, but sadly I was
only able to talk to them for a couple minutes. It was so fun!
When we finally made it back to the Moshav, we knew the caf
would not be open so we decided to go to Elvis Inn for some yummy food! I got
an amazing chicken burger with veggies and sauce. It was just the best! It also
came with French Fries and a drink! It was our first real American food since
we got here. It tasted so good! After that I came back and got my laundry(yay)
and then played volleyball for a good while and it was so much fun! Basically, Israel
is awesome and I love it so much! I also love the people I’m with (if you haven’t
been able to tell).
Well, if you can tell by my writing, I have no filter right
now which means I am so tired. So I am off to bed! I will blog tomorrow about
the amazing day that we just had in Jerusalem! =]
