Karas, Kats, Gilbert, and I stumbled
out of bed on Friday morning after an exhilarating Avicii concert, and headed
up North. When we arrived at the national park, The Yehudia water hike itself
was actually closed because of falling rocks, but that didn’t stop us from
sneaking passed the rangers to find a gorgeous waterfall (AKA paradise). We
spent the afternoon swimming, then headed back to our campsite for Kabbalat
Shabbat. Karas can speak Hebrew better than most Israelis, and somehow got us
into the park for free, because he volunteered in Tel-Arad, an excavation site
he volunteered at.
We spent the night telling stories from
the year, and eating out pitot and fruit salad.
We woke up to find that Jacob had been
bitten by 3,000 masqitos. After making sure Jacob was still alive, we started
our hike up Wadi Tsavitan. In the fist half hour we found a huge waterfall. I
also found a twenty-foot cliff to jump off of. It was fun. We finished our day
swimming in the Kinneret, and then headed back to Arad for our final party. It was
a great weekend, and a great way to continue living it up in this beautiful
country we call home.
The boys
Exploring
At this point in my jump I was flailing like a frog
...but luckily I regained control (perfect form and entry; I received a nine out of ten from the judges).
