This post in long overdue! As you can tell, I haven't been updating as much and I'm going to make a goal to update my blog once a month. This post isn't so long, but I wanted to at least put up some photos.
At the end of January, my school took us on a 3 day trip to Eilat, the southern most part of Israel. It is the beach/vacation/resort area of Israel. It is much less religious than Jerusalem and it is more difficult to find Kosher food there. On the first day we went hiking and camel riding. The second day was more hiking and then we went on a boat cruise at sunset which was really fun. The third day we went to an Oceanarium, which is like a really elaborate aquarium. It was part person made aquarium and then they built a viewing room in the ocean and you could go in a building underwater to view what was actually in the ocean. That afternoon we were supposed to go on another hike (too much hiking!!), but it was forecasted to rain so we went ice skating at the mall in Eilat instead. The mall had a very futuristic look to it and it was very English friendly, as in all of the store names were only written in English and not Hebrew! I appreciate the English, but would prefer the Hebrew be written next to the English as well, considering we are in Israel.
Here are some photos.
