Dear Diary, Mood: optimistic! Oh diary, you should see it here in Israel. We found ourselves on the first full day in Israel in the Golan Heights, Israel's Wisconsin (ish). We began our morning with a lovely hike through mud. Israeli mud is like American mud except it never appologizes...like Israelis. But Diary, I digress. We had a wonderful hike through Gilaboon and got our quad workout for the day out of the way. People fell in the stream, it was funny because it wasn't me. We left this hike, diary, and made our way to a lovely example of Israeli architecture: a strip mall.

Hi all, I'm so excited for our trip!
 
Just a few very quick notes:
1. Remember to be at the airport 4 hours before our flight! That means get to JFK at 5:50 PM on Saturday, January 2nd. We will meet near the El Al ticket counter.
 
2. Please have with you $60 in cash for bus driver/security guard's tip. This money will be collected at the airport.
 
3. Our group's cell phone number will be 052-566-8026 (within Israel) or 011 972 52 5668026 (from USA). A staff member will be holding that phone at all times.
