And we're back.

HELLO EVERYONE! I'm very sorry I haven't written in so long, it has been a crazy past few days and I have had literally zero time to get on my computer until now. So I guess I left off on my birthday. My 21st was a lot of fun. We had camp in the morning and Danny, Edna, and the kids were amazing, they threw me a party and decorated the room and gave me cards and a cake. It was so wonderful. After camp we went to class which was okay, typical class. After class we went to a Druze family's home and had a feast. There was SO much food. This family is a very wealthy Druze family and their sons are the highest ranking Druze officers in the IDF. Wednesday we had a field trip with our campers, we went to Ma'alot and went ice skating, swimming, and go-carting. It was fun but exhausting and I got hurt on the go-carts. A kid rear ended me four or five times. On Thursday we went to a regular day of camp and then from camp we left for the south. We stayed in a Bedouin tent tourist site where we rode camels and slept in the big tents. The next day we went on a 3 hour 4x4 off-roading jeep ride in the desert. It was terrible because of how bumpy it was but the scenery was gorgeous. Then we hiked through Ein Gedi and went in the natural pools. Last night we stayed in a youth hostel. It was fine, this morning we woke up at 3:30 and hiked Masada, up the snake path (the hard one). It was so tiring but such a great experience. This was my second time hiking Masada. I then went shopping and got some Ahava, and then we went to the spa and dead sea which was very relaxing. We are finally back at the dorms and I am so happy to be "home". Tomorrow is back to regular week of camp. Sorry I'm not posting pictures in this update, I will put them on facebook soon.
