A highlight of the trip so far:
Benny:
My highlight so far was going into the Dead Sea. It was really cool. I felt like I could almost walk on water. But it was also kinda scary because if you swallowed water you could get really sick. The hot tub was also really fun and relaxing. It smelled like rotten eggs. It was also a lot of fun putting mud on myself. It felt really weird. The whole thing was a good bonding experience because most of had never experienced something like this and we all had something to say.
Sam L:
My highlight so far was going to the shuk in the Tel Aviv market. I went around with Zvi (our guide) and three other kids to get very good falafel from a small vendor. It was very cheap and it was my first time ever having good falafel. It balanced vegetables with good sauce and pita bread and it tasted meaty even though it was vegetarian. We went and got really good hummus at a hummus store / synagogue. Then we went and looked at all the fake merchandise such as fake beat headphones and sunglasses (which I bought). I got an Israeli soccer team hat and ate some new foods (like coconut pieces). They were delicious. I saw a lot of different kinds of people. I liked it because you can't get that kind of experience easily in the US. It was really cool.
Ben S:
My highlight was a show called "not by bread alone." It was a show where all the actors and actresses were deaf and blind. I liked it because it was really inspiring to see all these people do really amazing things when their disability had made it impossible to do some things for a really long time. But it really showed that they could the same things that people without these disabilities could do, like play the accordion, light a cigarette, and bake bread. And some could speak, which I didn't expect. It was also really fun because it's not the type of play you would see at a playhouse. It's something where you would have to read more than you can watch, so you can really understand the play better and it's really inspiring to see what these people can do.
Chris:
My highlight was probably the bike tour through Tel Aviv. It was amazing to get the feel of Israel and see the scenery. It was also to end up at the playground. It was really modern and different than any playground that I had ever been to. It really helped that the weather was really amazing. It was my favorite kind of weather. That day, I think we tackled like 16 miles which was really different than in NY since I don't usually bike that far.
