Day of Rest
Yesterdays Shabbat was a much needed day of rest for everybody on the trip. In the morning, we learned about the history of Kibbutz Shomrat and received a tour around the area. After, most of the people on the trip spent their free time at the local pool for swimming and sunbathing. It was especially fun playing pool volleyball with the local Israelis and absorbing their way of life.
After a long day at the pool, we concluded Shabbat by doing the Havdalah as a group then heading to a mall for shopping and dinner. This was a great Saturday for us because we were able to rest, and catch up with our jetlag and sleep that we needed for the remainder of the trip.
