Bo Bo bo bokertov! With our eyes almost halfway open, we hopped on the bus to head to the Tel Aviv Beach. The sand felt like a blanket under our feet. We layed out in the beautiful sun and got our tan on. After the beach, we went to the Carmel market. We walked around the market and and got to fill up our growling stomachs. The shopping was great, besides a little bargaining with the head strong Israelis.
We then traveled to the Birthright Innovation center, and learned about the amazing inventions that the Israelis have created. We then went to Sderot, Sderot is one mile from Gaza and many rockets fall there as a result! Sderot is knows for its many bomb shelters some of which are built at playgrounds! We got to see one! We also got to oversee Gaza!
We then made our way to the Kibutz and were welcomed by a ton of black cats and ate a filling dinner. After a bunch of squeals from the cats and bugs, we got to settle in the rooms and get situated. We had an activity with the Israelis and soldiers called Krav Maga! Krav Maga is a military self defense system developed by the IDF! We got to learn some moves and practice on each other! We then got to learn a lot about them and their roles.
