Unfortunately, our trip is coming to an end. Today, we started the day off right with an exciting and adventerous jeep ride through the Golan. The ride was about 2 hours long and lets just say, we ended the ride a lot dirtier than we expected to be. After the refreshing jeep ride, we took a quick bus ride to Bintal, a mountain that gave us a view of Lebanon, Syria, and Israel. The view was beautiful and cool. We were all surprised to see snow on the top of one of the mountains. Then, we took a 40 minute bus ride to Katzrin for lunch. Most of us ate Shawarma, while others enjoyed their pizzas. Shortly after, we arrived at our next site, Chavat Kineret. We then learned about the life of those who first settled in Chavat Kineret. Our guide, Don, gave us a quick lesson on Kibbutz life. After an awesome lesson, we tried on the old Kibbutz clothes. We then took a quick stroll to our 18th cemetery (Just kidding, but we have been to many cemeterys) and then continued to learn about people of the Kibbutz. After the cemetery, we had a nice discussion about heros and heroic traits. Then, we took a long bus ride to Tel Aviv to go shopping. We then arrived at Azrieli Mall and were given money to eat. After eating, we shoppedd for a few hours and then took cabs to our hotel. The hotel is beautiful and we are all so sad that this is our last night together. It has been a great trip and none of us are ready to return home to the states.
