An Amazing First Day!
After several hours of travel, we finally arrived in Israel yesterday afternoon and we were welcomed by seven Israeli soldiers and our tour educator, Or, who will be accompanying us for the duration of the trip!
Today, we kicked off our tour of Israel wth a hike in the beautiful Golan Heights. After lunch we went to the top of Mount Bental. It was a little chilly and windy because we were actually inside of a cloud, but I was happy because there was a coffee shop there! Later in the afternoon we travelled near the Sea of Galilee where we got a chance to swim and relax in the hot springs.
Overall, it was a great day and I am very excited to continue our adventure here in Israel!
