After having spent the most unbelievable days in Jerusalem we all thought that nothing could surpass the excitement that the beginning of the trip had brought forth. We woke up a little later than usual, which was quite a nice change of pace, and we got on the bus on our way to S'de Boker.
We had all bonded as a group and no one really knew what to expect from the other cities whom we had previously only encountered a couple of times with no real interaction of any kind.
On the bus we listened to a perfectly constructed playlist about the road created by yours truly. We stopped briefly in a mall with the purpose of going to a supermarket and buying snacks. Most of us got the opportunity to try for the first time "choco besakit" (chocolate milk in a bag). It was all quite exciting.
When we finally arrived to Kennes, we were all split in colour groups (W-H-I-T-E YOU KNOW WHO YOU WANT TO BE! BRIGHT WHITE LET'S GO FIGHT!)
We met an incredible amount of people who, for the most part, where pretty darn awesome. We did various activities in our respective groups. We then had the amazing opportunity of listening to a lecture by Neil Lazarus who explained to us a simplified version of the reality of the Middle East and its many struggles.
We finally finished the day with a nice Ma'agal outside under the stars. If you're familiar with S'de Boker you'd know that there's a breathtaking cliff on the side of the kibbutz. Well picture this, all of us sitting outside in the stars in a circle beside a ginormous cliff discussing our day. It was the best way to end this beautiful day.
