Today we started out at 8:00 this morning. We went hiking up in the Golan Heights. On the bus ride there we could see buildings that had been damaged or destroyed by combat between Israeli and Syrian forces. On the hike we saw beautiful scenery including two waterfalls. We couldn't resist taking a quick swim in the beautiful water. After the long hike we journeyed to this shoe factory (Naot) where we took a gander at there products.  After that we visite  this huge super market were we shopped for lunch as well as other pleasure foods (none of which were nutritional). We then went to a museum about Jews in the late 19th and early 20 century where we talked about Israeli national pride. We then headed to a different part of the Golan Heights where we visited a memorial dedicated to Israeli troops who died taking that position of the Golan. We talked about Eli Cohen, a Mossod agent, who contributed to the defeat of Syrian forces in combat. Afterwards we arrived back at the Kibbutz.                                                                                                      
Good night.
