what did you DO in israel, emily?

well that's easy to answer. here goes:


monday- arrived in the evening, got to know everyone at the hotel, etc.
tuesday- jewish quarter, old city walking tour, western wall, drove to the dead sea
wednesday- woke up at four in the morning to hike masada at sunrise, floated in the dead sea, got an israeli massage, had too much fun in eilat
thursday- hiked to mt. zephachot, hung out in eilat, stayed in a bedouin tent
friday- rode a camel, went to ben gurion's grave, welcomed seven israeli soldiers, went to the jerusalem marketplace, celebrated shabbat
saturday- walking tour of jerusalem, ben yahuda street
sunday- went to yad vashem (holocaust museum), har herzl, stayed and danced on a kibbutz
monday- went to mt. bental, hiked on the golan, wine tasted and doggy paddled in hot springs
tuesday- toured tzfat, learned about kabballah, said goodbye to our dear soldiers, watched obama get sworn in, danced the night away in tel aviv
wednesday- went to independence hall, planted a tree and hung out in jaffa
thursday- traveled for more than thirty hours back to san francisco, which came complete with a man who had cocaine and razor blades in his mouth, crying babies and adolescents who won't take off their bangles to get through security.
