well, ulpan, our hebrew program, started today. all twelve of us had class together- with our hebrew experiences ranging from absolutely none to some who can read/write and others who speak fluently but cannot read/write in hebrew. the class was pretty good for me.
afterwards we ventured to the nearby town of naharyia. i caught a ride into town with our hebrew teacher, lital, and her 11 month old son. (her husband is nigerian, so we had a nice chat about the countries she's travelled to in africa)
we walked around naharyia for about three hours. there were small markets and food stands, as well as nicer cafes and restaurants. we went to one cafe for iced coffee. bought postcards (no stamps yet) also walked down to the water and saw the end of the sunset. there is a nice pier leading up to the water with smoothie stands, ice cream, etc. also a large outdoor sporting area: skate park, basketball courts, etc. (this area reminded me of venice beach)
tomorrow we have our first group outing to Akko Festival. i know we leave at 7:30pm. don't know what the festival is about, but i know that akko is a town about thirty minutes south of the kibbutz.
