Kibbutz Life
This is my first time in Israel and it's so different from New York, where I was born and raised.
Right now, I'm writing from a beautiful Kibbutz Afik in the Golan Heights. The nature here is incredible! There are so many tropical plants, exotic flowers, and fruit trees. It's interesting how different the vegetation can be in a different country with a very different environment.
This morning, I woke up around 8:30 and got breakfast, where I tried new foods, like fishes and cheeses. After breakfast, I walked around the kibbutz to explore the grounds. I came upon a beautiful panoramic lookout spot of the mountains. It was such a beautiful spot, and something I don't ever see at home. I'm really excited to see what my other mornings look like here in Israel!
