Hilary Shapiro and Michelle Railey
We've been in Israel for just one day and we are already having the time of our lives. We are meeting some amazing people and experiencing things we couldn't do anywhere else.
This morning we woke up bright and early to visit the Golan Heights we were unable to hike because the weather (it rained last week so the trails are muddy) but it didn't stop us from a seeing the spectacular view at Mitzpe Hashlom.
We then we visited the Golan Heights olive mill (www.capernaumvista.com). It was our first time to spend our shekels in the gift shop on natural oil products such as olive oil, body washes, lip balms and moisturizers. After we went to Mount Ben Tal overlooking the Syrian border and really got to see the beauty of Israel in the mountains we took lots of pictures we will have forever. We took our first stop in the Golan village of Katzrin where we had our first falafel (of many) of the trip! Then we went to an environmental site where we learned about the migration of birds and their unique tracking system.
It's only been the first day and we have experienced so much. The staff is awesome and our group is getting along great. After talking about going on birthright we can't believe we are here and look forward to the rest of the trip!
In an hour we will heading out for dinner in a local Tiberius Cafe and a night on the town!
