June 6, 2016, through June 30, 2016: Israel Experts, bus 250!
1. The second you get home, you look for the nearest falafel place.
2. Your wake-up call for hiking up Masada wasn't even a wake-up call because you were already up for 20 hours.
3. Optional breakfast on Shabbat was a blessing.
4. The Bedouin Tent experience did not reach your expectations of camping outside.
Why were there outlets? Why was there Wi-Fi in one of the buildings? There were working showers and toilets?! Why were the showers better than the ones in college?!
At least there was still a bonfire to make the camping experience semi realistic.
5. You snapchat your Israeli BFFs on the daily and cry because you miss them so much
6. When your tour guide says the Jordan River is like a lazy river, don't listen to them.
It's a trap. You will get stuck in trees, stuck between rocks. You'll have to get out of your kayak multiple times.
7. You were hype for the Dead Sea but when you got there, you were so dead you didn't enjoy it to your full potential.
8. You are planning to do Masa, Taglit 2.0...the not free version.
9. You have a strong sense of hate towards media outlets putting out wrong information about Israel.
10. "Do not pet the cats" wasn't an option when they would literally come right up to you begging to be pet.
11. You have such a deep respect for the IDF, which is run by 18-22 year olds.
12. You can't believe how strong the children of Sderot are.
Having to deal with rockets coming at their town is not something that happens on the daily (for the most part) anywhere else in the world.
