ani lo midaberet evret

^ that quote means: i cant speak hebrew. its the most usefull thing to knwo how to say on this trip. just thoguht i should let everyone know. alos i should let you know how sorry i am for not writing as frequently as i would like too. its very hard. our schedule is always jam packed and sitting down to write a blog get pushed back way to often. so ill start with last week. Regular days of class, getting out of biblical times in history and moving slightly foward. Our trip to go along with this was a very exciting one: Masada! so first wednesday we went to Jerusalem, went to a museum where we say what all of Israel would look like in a mini form in the times where the Hellenists *or greeks* were trying to either change or make the Jewish people leave. After this we went shopping and ate for a little then we went to Masada Youth Hostile, after going to sleep at 9 pm and then waking up at 345 the next morning, we climbed up the mountain. For me it took about 45 minutes i think, the fastest kids got up in 20. we then watched the sunrise and it was so beautiful, after we had class on top of Masada until 11. it was pretty amazing. Then after we left we went to the dead sea, it was the coolest thing ever. We floated, i mean obviously everyone knows that the dead sea you can just float in but experiencing it was like so cool. lol. then Friday after class i went and stayed with my cousin Naama in her apartment in Tel Aviv. She showed me around we went to the beach, her favorite cafe, and a party :) i experienced what it would be like to be a college student in Tel Aviv. It reminded me of any other city ive been to; baltimore dc or some parts of new york. the only thing is that its 20 times cooler because its Tel Aviv :) lol Then yesterday we went on a Tiyul and climbed through tiny tiny tiny holes underground and went in small caves where the jewish people hid when using guerilla warfare when fightin the Romans. It was really scary, i couldnt really handle it but once we got in the bigger spaces it was fine. it was cool, because even though i didnt really enjoy it because of the small spaces, not many people that i know can ever say they experienced climbing in underground tunnels mutiple times where there ancestors were fighting for our religion today. Tomarow and Wednesday we have more Tiyuls ill telll you about them after they happen though. i promise to try to get on sooner than a week from now though. okay write laterrr :0 byeee
