THE LIFE OF THE WANDERING JEW! PT.1!

   Well its been a interesting few days to say the least! lets start back to friday friday was nice. Friday was we went to a kind of elderly day care center of sorts, and wound up playing some bingo with them it was pretty interesting especially considering they didn't really know any english so my hebrew skills had to somewhat come into play. the women i was with were very entertaining and might I say the elderly here have it pretty nice at the center... hell they have a tv room with a huge flat screen tv and massage reclining chairs gallore! after that we had some free time to our selves and wound up just relaxing.  later that evening I was envited to Bella's house. Bella is the pres. of the rotery club here in Ramla a nice woman. it was her and most of her fam minus a child and their kids. The grand kids were so adorable. there was one she must have been 7-8, and she was trying to play a game of astronaut it was adorable even though it was all in hebrewk and i barely understood her. it was entertaining to see her imagination. saturday we really didnt do much. mostly hung out and relaxed. sunday pretty much did the same but in the evening we wound up going to tel-aviv to chill.

       Now the title doesn't lie I was a wandering jew for the past few days. starting monday. we started out in taking a train early morning to benyamina to meet up with the tiberias group. From there we went to cesarea! to the ancient ruins there and we did some group building activities. from there we went to the kinneret cemetery and learned about the first aliyah the pioneers of the country. there we saw the graves of Naomi Shemer who wrote the famous song and technically the second national anthem of israel 'Yerushelaim shel zahav' 'jerusalem of gold', and the grave of Rachel a amazing poet of her time! she wrote a lot of peoms of love and the love of the land. apparently theres a special box inattached to the grave and in the box there's a book of her poems. And it is known that on nights of a full moon couples have been known sit there at the grave side and recite poems to one another. after that we went to tiberias where we settled into the tiberias's groups house it was pretty decent. in the evening we went to dinner and then to a bar/club and met up with a canadian birthright trip nothing really exciting there. tues we wound up on a 4 hr hikethrough the north, and in a cave and might I say i had a winnie the pooh moment. ok so i was able to fit through the tight and small tunnel out. but having to pike down and basically millitary crawl out of the tunnel. it was a good laugh. after the hike we went to naharia and wound up going shopping for food for dinner later that night....
