Waz up its yo boy ari. Today we went to the salad trAil. We tried a variety of amazing vegetables and different spices. The semi organic tomatoes grown in the dessert were like no other.
But, the lasting memory of the day came when 6 brave souls took to center stage for the hot chili pepper. As our guide handed out an assortment of orange and green peppers the volunteers looked on in excitement and anticipation. Their eagerness quickly fled after the first and final bite for many. We all looked on humorously enjoyed their facial expressions and beads of sweat forming across their brows, a pepper and experience they will never forget for better or for worse.
I got myself to try a few mint leaves and flowers. We even had the chance to release pigeons into the air. (Pictures to come). After the trail we were exhausted and arrived at the Bedouin tents.
It was not like I expected,it was a very big settlement with a dozen tents. After settling in we had an amaaazzziiinngg dinner. Thinking about the chicken and rice is making my mouth water. We then learned a little about the Bedouin culture and way of life .
After that we took a walk in the middle of the desert. I've never expirienced anything like it before. It was majestically silent with the only thing to listen to was our voices and the occasional plane flying over us . We talked about what we want from this trip as individuals and as a group and got a variety of answers. And right now I'm writing at 12:30 am local time sitting next a bonfire playing songs on the guitar. I gotta say our mispacha is the best one put here while every other group seems to be more boring and not as energetic. I'm excited for this trip and can't believe only one day has passed
Shalom
