tuesday: we were supposed to have an 8am hike to/in Klil. instead we woke up to a bit of rain and so we happily went back to bed and postponed the hike. at 1030 we had a lecture about israel's geography and the history behind israel's map (the way land has been divided). we also learned about the history of the Kibbutz movement and the changes that have gone on with the structure of the Kibbutz. we learned about the history of Kibbutz Yehiam and went to small musuem they have showing the development of the kibbutz and displaying the kibbutz history (on-site of course).
wednesday: we a field trip in our hebrew class! there is a renissance festival occuring in the Yehiam Castle, which is on the kibbutz property and barely a five minute walk from our housing. we went with our class to walk around the castle and learn more hebrew words and history. there were people dressed up in clothes like we see in the renissance fairs in the states. there were craft activities, stands of food to buy (and taste! like cheese, wine, crackers), and of course food to eat. i shared a pita that was baked with tomatos, onions and spices on top. it was good although i would've loved to have added some hummus or even sour cream on it.
yesterday we had hebrew lessons, went to the kibbutz market for groceries....that's about it.
today and tomorrow we have off from hebrew lessons. we're hoping to go into Naharyia today and the beach tomorrow.
