Yesterday (Sunday) we all left for a three day trip to The Golan! But before we actually went up North, we made a few pitstops. First, we went to Weizmann Institute of Technology. There, we got to play around in the hands on science "park." It was really fun and interesting. Our next stop was IDC Herzlyia. While we were there, we had an orientation-like presentation and heard a few students speak. Some of which had done EIE. Our last stop was the youth hostel we are staying at. After having dinner, we spent the rest of the evening watching a movie outside.
Today, wake up was at 6:30am so that we could get on the road early. First, we went to a gorgeous view point that looked over the entire Sea of Galilee. Next we went and saw a movie about The Golan. My favorite part so far was the olive oil factory. We got to taste different olive oil that they make, right there in The Golan, and try the cosmetics they make out if olive oil. Now, we are currently waiting to go on a "water" hike... More like a short hike with a tiny bit of water involved. It should be fun, and it is really nice out!
