Day 2 in Israel Writer: Aviva Summers

We awoke for our first teeyool or trip of our trip. We would work our way chronologically through the history starting with Tel Gezer and the story of Abraham. We headed off with our cameras fully charged, our shoes laced, and our liter and a half (litre vihetzee) of water in our hands. We began a peaceful walk to the spot in which we would stop and when we arrived we were enlightened by Phillip and his first "Story" of the trip. His theory is that history is just a bunch of stories-his story it more interesting. Afterward, we headed back to campus as the sun was already setting. It was 4:30. We arrived back in Hod Hasharon and were given a walking tour of our surrounding city and all there was to do, a.k.a.: where all the food was. Our madrichim then let us loose into the town for a few hours where we ate schwarma and falafel. And some stocked up on groceries for the morning because the food here is the same exact thing we have had everyday (just saying, not complaining). By the time the day was over, the sky was dark and we were exhausted. So until tomorrow...
