out and about...

Hi all!

Everything has been going great. The group and myself have really been enjoying the Kibbutz and everything it has to offer. Yesterday was the holiday Sukkot and we were able to celebrate with the rest of the community here by being "forced" to sing a hebrew song. This song was performed with the young children children of the Kibbutz during the festivities last night. We had to go on stage and sing our hearts out while being complete embarressed and upstaged by a group of 6 year olds. We definitely had fun doing so though.

After the fun and exciting sukkot we celebrated, we were able to kick back and relax at the local Kibbutz bar. As you can tell...we had fun.

The Israeli beer Goldstar that I am now in love with.

The two boys in the middle are local Kibbutz boys and the rest are from the group.

Today was also a very fun day. After being able to sleep in as long as we wanted, a group of us decided to find a beach. We called a cab and we were soon our way to Banana Beach about 15 minutes away. The beach was absolutely beautiful and we ate a delicious meal at the beach cafe. We were there until about 5 in which the sun had already started to set and it was getting chilly.

We start hebrew lessons tomorrow morning at 9am. I'm looking forward to this because it is getting a little annoying not understanding any of the language.

Until next time...
