Day 9: Finally shorts weather!! Thank the lord!!

Recap of yesterday: In the morning we took a little field trip to a town in between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. The place we went to was called "Tel Gezer." Huh.....gezer is carrot. I didn't understand either. It was basically an archeological sight were we believed the first Jews were established in 2000 BCE. That's right, I'm paying attention in JHIST WHADDUP!? They were called the Canaanites (Or the Habiru, not really sure, it's up for debate) and we kind of saw how they defended themselves, how they got water, food, and their gate. Pretty dang cool, along with breath taking views! After all that walkin' and talkin' we had to go back to general studies :P

The other day I failed to mention the funniest thing that happened right before we went to bed. In comes the counselor to check in on us, she leaves the door open AND IN RUNS A DISEASE-RABIES FILLED CAT INTO MY ROOM!! I've never been more afraid of a cat. What does the counselor do? Starts yelling at it in Hebrew! Dude, cats don't understand that Ivrit, they speak cat. Honestly. Eventually it did leave in the arms of my roommate who didn't care if she got sick or not. "Can we keep him?" She was 100% serious.

Today: We finally got to do some more exploring of the Kibbutz. We walked through some rows of the vineyards, turned at some paths, and arrived at a cave. What? Caves? the kibbutz has caves? Lots? That makes it probably 98469283693845643 times more better. Except for the fact that they got dead guys in there. Kinda not what I wanna be standing on when I come in, but still pretty bangin!
