This morning we got up early b/c we had a full day tiyul. Once on the bus we had about a 2-hour drive to our first destination. We went to a museum to learn about Zionism and Aliyot to Israel. The first big wave of Aliyot was in 1881, incase you were wondering. After we went through the museum we got back on the bus for an hour drive up to the Kineret. When we got there we had lunch. As usual for an all day tiyul we had chicken schnitzel. Then we walked around for a while learning about kibbutzim. We did a role-play activity of a meeting among kibbutz members and I realized that before Kibbutzim became more modern and started letting people actually own things, everything that people owned wasn’t specifically theirs. Rather it was everyone who was a member of the Kibbutz. I could never imagine living on a kibbutz like the ones when kibbutzim were first founded. After that we went to the cemetery and learned several stories about people that lived on one of the first Kibbutzim. Then we got on the bus and started our 3-hour drive home. But we got stuck in traffic and got back an hour late. Right when we got back we went straight to dinner. After dinner I finalized plans with Aunt Suzy because I am seeing her on Saturday. Then I went to Sydney and Yael’s room to steal their Internet b/c the Internet in my room sucks! So that is where I am now. When I am done stealing their Internet I am going to go shower, bond with my roommates, and pack up my stuff.
p.s. I am officially caught up on my blog updates! That is for the time being… after gadna and the south I will have to type up all of those entries too!
