Water, Watereverywhere and not a drop to spare

Today we woke up at 6:30. The reason for this is because we went on a little trip. Since Israel is a dry area, there is a stream that helps move water from one area of country to another. There are sections of the river that are open to swimming. The whole Garin went tubing down the river. If you have ever been on a lazy river ride, this is very similar. It was fun to go down and see 36 people all on black tubes going down a river. From there, we went to a lookout area where we got to see for miles around. It was interesting because we got to see where exactly everything is in the north in relation to us (such as Palestine, Jen’in and Jordan.) While taking in the view, we also got to finally take in some bbq food. There's nothing so good as hotdogs and chicken.
From there we went back to Afula to see the shook of the village. It is not as big as the ones in Tel Aviv or Jerusalem. While there was nothing for me to buy, it was still fun to hear all the different people try to sell me things.
From there we went back to the kibbutz for another late night pool party. While we did have a fun filled day, we are all happy that tomorrow is our first free Shabbat. I am planning to spend it in Jerusalem with my cousins and grandparents.

  1. Enjoy Shabbat! Barbecues, pool parties and the people at the shuk sound awesome ;)
