Today was a great day. We began our experience by having a traditional Israeli breakfast. There was challah bagels, eggs, and even on the more traditional side some cheeses that were rather Israeli typical food. Most of us were unsure of how to adjust to the situation of the food, but they ended up taking it with glory. The day progressed and we progressed north to the Golan Heights. We were each assigned jeep rides! We loved our Israeli drivers. WE saw a memorial to those killed during the 1967 War. We were astonished by the great views of the freshwater Kinneret or Sea of Galillee. Then we headed to a hike, with amazing views. We saw a waterfall and also a “rock bunny” We were all in awe. After we headed to the next moment on our trip. We were stopped by a Israeli military unit moving a cannon across the street, a true Israeli experience! We began driving to the mount Bental, where you can see the different views of Syria and other countries. IT was amazing!! WE ended the day lighting the menorah in Tiberias. We got jelly donuts (sufganiot) too! I am thoroughly enjoying this trip. WE have a great group. Tomorrow’s trip will be phenomenal as well.
