Part 2: Tonight's Adventure!
My friends Giselle and I went to go see our friends in Shalavim, Penina and Ariella, since Mondays we have the night off. We took the #19 bus to get there. I was really excited because I found out that I could get a kid's bus pass since I'm under 18 and I could ride the bus for about half the price, so I bought 20 rides. When Giselle and I got to the bus stop, Ariella and Penina were there waiting for us and then we went to go check out their dorms. Their dorms are so nice compared to ours, it's like living they're living in a hotel. Anyway, we then went to the mall. To get to the mall, you have to walk down over 300 steps. About half way down the stairs there is this huge dog that barks at you when you pass by. It was dark outside so the first time we passed the house, the dog just jumped on the fence and started barking like crazy. I couldn't really see anything and I basically jumped because I was so surprised.
Once we got to the mall I was so hungry because I hadn't eaten dinner. Penina and I went to go get pizza, and Giselle and Ariella went to get meat. After I had a huge slice of pizza, I was still hungry so Penina took me to a bakery and 'forced' me to get a huge donut... which was sooooo good! When we met back up with Giselle and Ariella, Giselle started telling us this story about some random guy who just came up to her and asked her how old she was. It was really weird and we decided that it was probably some bet that he made with his friends. At about 10:00 Giselle and I decided it was time to go home, so we had to walk back up all those stairs, past the crazy dog, and up to the bus stop. We got on the bus and weren't exactly sure where to get off. We got off at the stop that we thought was ours but then we weren't exactly sure where we were. After asking a few people where to go, we finally figured it out. On the walk home, we walked into a huge group of soldiers who were also walking in the same direction as us, so far a good part of the way home, it was like we had our own little army surrounding us.
Part 3: I don't often write anything philosophical or thought provoking on my blog but I thought I might share a thought I had with you. I'm in Israel. It's crazy, i'm in Israel!
I know you know that, and I know it too, but sometimes when you're sitting inside a classroom or in your bed, you kinda forget because you're just comfortable there. But then you look outside your window and remember, oh I'm not at home... I'm in Israel!
Don't miss me too much! Shalom V'lehitraot!
PS: Anyone get the title reference?
