  1. I received the second phone call from Dani today and she talked non-stop! I promised her I would share some of her stories on the blog;
    Her first few days were filled with the time spent in the pool and meetin youth from everywhere. She finds the accents and stories interesting and amazing !

    Today her call was all a out the sassy camels and the visit to the bedouins. The food, the culture , and the sassy camels and being thrown in the air and caught during the drumming and dances !

    They visited the western wall, and she was in years for all it symbolized to her and our people.

    The Dead Sea and how it held her and didn't let her fall when she slipped on a rock. She states her skin feels like that of a new baby's after all it's time in the sea and in the mud .

    The cable car ride to Massada and king heroes palaces and the memorial there .
