Arrived to the Kibbutz

So I'm safely at the Kibbutz, via two trains and a taxi...

Yesterday, my friend Einat took me to Tel Aviv. We walked around the arts markets and shopping area, drinking a great pomegranent smoothie. For dinner last night, we went out for sushi. The pieces were large and yummy. Then we went back home where I slept for 14+ hours last night.

This afternoon, before starting my journey to the north, Einat & Shimon took me to the pier (not port) in Herzeliya. The view of the boats and water was quite beautiful. We had a nice small lunch and coffee before heading to the train station.

I arrived to the Kibbutz around 8:45pm. We just had a little 'meet n greet' with pizza. I'm writing from the computer in our common area- a room with a tv, couch, dining room table and kitchen (fridge, stove, etc.). Everyone seems nice, there are about 12 of us, ages ranging from 18-26..with one canadian and one person from england.

Tomorrow we start orientation and such around 10am. Sunday we'll start hebrew lessons. That's about all I know for now.

My room has a small kitchen, bathroom and two beds. Thus far I have no roommate, I don't think I'll be getting one but it's possible. (The other people on the trip all have one roommate, but I'll gladly live alone.)

I'll do my best to updat this often. I find the blog a lot quicker than writing seperate e-mails.
