WOW, what a day! We did so much today, I can’t believe we even fit all of it into the schedule. Today was unique and unlike any other day on the trip bus MAYANOT 119 has experienced before. From the Banyas hike to the activities with the Israelis, our day was jam packed with activities, group photos and bonding as a group.
The day started out with a late wake up call and everyone rushing to get ready and go to breakfast. I quickly ran out the door with my hotel roommates, Brooke and Shachar, to head to breakfast. Breakfast was interesting, as usual, with the Italian food and jasmine rice for breakfast. After breakfast we moved to the bus and began our journey. Except we forgot one of the Israelis and had to turn around and go get her, but we quickly made our way to the Banyas hike and saw a side of Israel that none of us had seen before. Israel is like this hidden gem with all these secret beauties waiting to be discovered! We also went on a crazy jeep tour, which was messy and really fun. I was pretty nervous and it ended up exceeding my expectations. We then went to Kibbutz Misgav Am on the Lebanese border and heard from a Kibbutznik Aryeh about life living on the kibbutz and the border.
The day was filled with lots of activities and sleeping on the bus. Honestly I’m not sure how I am even awake right now but the people on this trip are really amazing. I can’t help but want to stay up and spend more time with them. As a student who doesn’t attend UCF I was really worried I wouldn’t be able to fit in. However as soon as I introduced myself I was welcomed to the group. Even as I write this short bog post everyone is sitting together in a huge group chatting and laughing and inviting those who are sitting alone to join in on the fun.
Today has been my favorite day for more reasons than I can count but I know that this trip will only get better and I can’t wait to see what comes next.
