last night we had a bonfire with most of the people on my program and several of the young israelis on the kibbutz. (yours truly built the fire) the israelis were much more elaborate in their bonfire materials- bringing mattresses and cushions and even a small table.
we had ulpan, our hebrew class, again today. nothing special to report there.
afterwards, we went to the Deli Yehiam store, which featured a variety of our local meat products. also in the same building was a cute gift store- with mugs, jewelry, perfumed soaps, etc.
this evening was an amazing excursion to Akko. yearly, there is an alternative theatre festival outdoors on the streets of Akko (overlooking, and sometimes incorporating, the beach). there were markets of food and gifts. all along the streets were different performances. one act we saw was like acrobats- on ropes/trapeze.
another show was in the water, not too far off the coastline. this show merged two pieces: a woman lying on rocks in the water and someone walking on stilts along a wall. the person on the wall went into the water, meeting the woman already there and another person popped up as well.
the shows are hard to explain. overall were very interesting, modern, many were interactive. around the festival it surprised me to see cotton candy and popcorn. however, the food stands also included crepes (which looked delicious, although i didn't buy anything).

It sounds like you are having an amazing time and I am so jealous! I love reading your blogs so keep updating them and I hope you are taking tons of pictures so I can see them later!
I'm so jealous! Akko was where I lived the year I was in Israel! I miss it, it's such a beautiful little city... at some point if/when you get back there, look for a humus place in the old city called Humus Said (pronounced "si" as in simon - "eed" as in seed), it's my favorite humus in the world, no joke! Also, there's this place right nearby where they sell these little pastry things called knape, I never had them because they weren't vegan but everyone says they're delicious...
ps: I've been loving reading this and living vicariously through you!
