Today I:
Ate hummus
Laid with the cacti
Put a cactus thorn in my face
Fed a bunny
Fed another bunny
Fed a deer thing with my mouth
And then I sat alone because I'm weird.
This Day in Israel
Tag / Israel
Yam l’Yam (Sea to Sea) – Day 4, Abirim to Achziv Beach
I took this photo of Winston (not his real name) the morning of day 4. We woke up to him running around our camp in the dark, so excited to have us up and playing with him.
Yam l’Yam (Sea to Sea) – Day 2, Tzfat to Har Meron
Day two started before the sun came up, snacking on a handful of dried fruit and nuts while packing up our gear. And then it was back down into the valley.
Career Israel North Trip
On October 12-14, we took a trip up north with our entire program. We spent time in the Golan Heights, and around the Sea of Galilee.
Leaving Again
Time to start up the blog again.
After coming back from my Central American adventures, the job I thought I’d had at the rock climbing gym in Chicago never materialized. And as I couldn’t bring myself to sign up for another 2 or 3 years of administrative assistant work again, I reached out to a program I was talking with before Central America.
I applied for an internship in Israel, and I got in.
This coming Sunday, after reducing my possessions to a suitcase, a carry on bag, and a bike-plus-whatever-else-fits-with-it in a bike box, I’ll board a plane for Tel Aviv.
My internship, with a small tech company in the heart of the city, is scheduled for 5 months. But by leaving my apartment and lightening my load, I’m leaving myself open to the option of staying there after my 5 months have ended.
If I do return to the states, I’m not sure where it will be. But probably not Boston. I love the city tremendously, but there’s no time like the present to get out and explore. Maybe Colorado. Maybe California. That’s a decision I’ll make when the time gets closer.
Until then, stay tuned to the blog for (what I hope will be) plenty of photos and entries about my experience in the Holy Land in a time of war. I trust they will be just as intense as security was at the local Israeli consulate!
