Day 8: Magical Day

July 24, 2014
By: Aviva Pelc-Nsiri

This morning was unlike any other. It was filled with excitement and sorrow all at once, and it left us absolutely exhausted. We left for Masada after a short but sweet wrap-up to community week led by our incredible day leaders. We all couldn't wait to get on the bus, but we also didn't want to leave our wonderful host families. After a bus ride that seemed much shorter than it was and a delicious ice cream break, we finally arrived to our hotel. Once we dropped off our bags and changed quickly, we were back on the bus to Masada.  The cable car up was a little tight, but we made it work. Masada is indescribable, no doubt about that. We discussed the historical/mystical/who-knows story and its validity as an act of heroism or cowardice. Finally, we headed off to a Bedouin campsite for a surprise camel ride ("...from hell" according to Emma) and a fun (and not very sanitary) dinner. We finished off with a check in with Daniel and Liav respectively. All in all, today was a magical day.
