Well, I've finally made a blog after being here for 2 weeks (though it seems like more). So I have a lot to catch you all up on. First of all, the kibbutz is absolutely beautiful! The view of the Judean Hills and Jerusalem are incredible. The weather isn't too bad either ( :
The first few days was spent getting adjusted. We got our rooms, settled in, and went on a tiyul to an archaeological site. Then came the classes. School starts at 8:30 and ends at 7:00. By the end of the day I am SO tired! Some days we go on tiyulim, which are nice breaks from having class. This past weekend I left the kibbutz and went to stay with Carmel, who was the shlicha at TBJ last year. It was so much fun. We went to Tel Aviv (my new favorite city) and I saw the Medditerranean Sea for the first time!
Well, that's all for now.

Hi Emma!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the blog. It will be great to follow your travels and experiences. We are off, tomorrow, for a vacation in Hawaii (mid-winter break). Look forward to hearing more from you.
Love, UK
Creating a blog is an awesome idea Emma, I'm looking forward to hear more from you! And I promise that someday(when you come visit me) I'll make you swim in Medditerranean Sea :))
ReplyDeleteI miss you,
Ece
Emma- Awesome to hear from you. I am just catching up on email- and Peggy is still out skiing- can't wait to show her your blog- expect she will be writing you separately. The idea of school from 8:30 to 7 is exhausting even just in concept. How will your concord friends ever be able to keep up with you when you come home? We miss you. ejs
