Hooray! I arrived safely and soundly to my destination last night. And I am more than happy to say that it seems great so far. The accomidations are definitely not as nice as I had perhaps invisioned in my mind but oh well. The toilet is in the shower too...awkward but I suppose it will have to work.
I'm also loving the people. There are 12 of us, the oldest is 26 and there is an 18 year old too. This leaves me right in the middle where I am completely content to be. Honestly, everyone seems super nice and they are all here for the same reasons I am.
I basically passed out last night the minute my head hit the bed (I have yet to get a pillow). I'm still not feeling all that rested yet but I'm sure I will after I get more used to the time change. We got up this morning and met in the common area which is right next to our buildings. Here we discussed a few things and got to take a somewhat condensed tour of the kibbutz. It's pretty amazing here and there are fruit trees everywhere (pomegranite, passion, and pecan too!) So we just ate breakfast as we walked around.
This is the fortress/castle that is on the Kibbutz grounds.
Pomegranite trees everywhere!
We have had some free time this afternoon and we used it to shop at the market, make lunch, and we even managed to watch some Israeli children's programming (we couldn't understand it at all but it was funny still.)
We have a meeting later in the day and tonight we will be visiting the local bar! Sounds good to me. :)
