hey all!
i’m back again doing a little review of the rest of my trip! i needed to get myself a little more organized in order to even get to posting this! but i felt super organized with it and knew i was ready to have it go up! so without further ado,
here we go!
day 6
we finished our time in jerusalem during shabbat, so as forementioned, i don’t have any photos of this time but we essentially just played games and got to talk a lot about
day 7
our next move was to tel aviv and we spent the day in the outdoor market, eating and enjoying ourselves and we got to go out during the night time. it was so much fun! tel aviv gave me alot of ‘los angeles’ energy so it felt a lot like home to me!
day 8
this day we went to the tel aviv beach in the morning and got a few hours to lay out, go in the water and play some volleyball. this was a really fun time with my trip because it was some of the only real down time we had. and the weather was just fantastic! we also went to jaffa, which is the old port city of tel aviv. it also had awesome energy and we all loved it!
day 9
on this day we moved down south closer to the border with gaza, we stopped at the border wall with gaza and talked with a woman who lives in a community not far from the border. it was an enlightening experience because although i knew about the conflict we had an indept conversation about the conflict and i got to hear a few different sides which i did not expect. we finished the day in a kibbutz and had a chill evening.
day 10
we hit the ground running on day 10 at masada. we hiked up the roman ramp and by the time we were coming down, they had closed it so we had to go down via the gondola because it was so hot! we then went to the dead sea and experienced the waters there. we finished our day at the bedouin tents where we got to eat, stay and experience the stars, which were breathtaking.
day 11
our last day started with breakfast and camel rides, and from there, we made our trek back up to tel aviv to hit the airport and leave! here i had to say goodbye to all my friends and i departed for my own next adventure which i will again chronicle soon on the blog!
