We woke up in the Bedouin tents after a late night filled with laughter and the kind of joy only brought about after bonding near a campfire.

A few of the best names we gave the camels were: Donald Hump, Alexander Camelton, and Chewy Bacca.

Reflecting on the new experiences I had today reminded me of how lucky I am to have received this gift. There is no gift like it anywhere.

The group was happy and bonding, and being such helped us realize that although we are guests in this beautiful land, we are already home.

I saw my group, my bBrthright family, and I saw a camel parade of adults who have chosen enthusiasm to be able to have an incredibly amazing experience.  It's a choice to do bBrthright just as it is to be excited. Birthright was a choice we made for different reasons - mine was largely because I haven't traveled and this was free. However, if I had any idea what this trip would mean to me before, I would have paid any amount for this experience (but I'm still really glad I didn't have to).

After visiting the playground, we headed over to Kfar Hanokdim to ride camels and learn about Bedouins in the desert! The Bedouin hospitality included tea, coffee, and an amazing feast. 

The 1-mile walk from Rabin Square to the Sarona Market gave us a good feel of the exciting and bustling city of Tel Aviv. 

Our hike was called Ein Ovdat and we were not the only group who had the same idea. At the waterfall we were lined up with a few other groups but we are pretty sure we got the best pictures of the day. We could've stayed there for hours trying to capture the beauty and by the time we got back, there were definitely a few of us Floridians who had fallen in love with hiking in general! 

With only a few days left, we are all reflecting on the time spent and the last ones we have. People have changed, grown, and made friends for life! I can say now that this has been an experience of a life time and will never forget.
