A day in the dessert- written on Wednesday

Bus 321 spent last night together at the Bedouin tents. We were treated to a full meal and authentic Bedouin hospitality, complete with coffee, baklava, and stories from our host. Our sleeping accommodations were on mats in a large tent that fit our bus and bus 294 together. After breakfast this morning we found ourselves on a walk in the dessert. It was hot and dry, but very beautiful. At one moment we came across a large, steep hill. We spelled our bus number in Rocks and then several of the men spontaneously charged up the hill. Several times during the hike an F-16 raced across the sky overhead. It was a chilling reminder that there is still a cost to protecting this beautiful country. We now find ourselves on the bus, headed to the Dead Sea. The pictures attached are of the dance party that just started. Becca and Jake are working as our co-DJ's. B'shalom, Andrew Kirschner Bus 321
