My so called year

Well, since I will have the year of my life (hopefully)and since I am so bad at keeping in contact, my sister urged me to start a blog so that you all can get to know what is happening and how I am succeding (or miserably failing) in my attempts to make the world a better place.

its been a while....

so i have a lot of catching up to do....

hmm lets see..... tuesday eve we went to the pool hall and i offically can not play pool... then wedensday i dont really remember what we did during the day but in the evening we went to a kibbutz and the pool there (mamma kibbutzer ar inte alls som du har beskrivit dem, mycket mindre socialistiska nu pa 2000 talet) - and i discovered that its freakin hard to swim in sweet water hehe....

right then thursday we first went to an old monestary called tabkha or smth like that and it was were jesus performed the miracle of feeding ppl with two fishes and five breads or smth like that... and it was REALLY pretty! its on top of a hill over looking the sea of galliele (dunno how to spell) and yeah i could definatly imagine the serenity you get from living there all year around and with nothing to do then pray and get in contact with god.... then
in the evening robbies older brother lenny and his friend valerie took us to the highest point of kyriat shmona so we were over looking the city and man! i really really like lookign down on cities seeing all the lights and it just looks sooooooo pretty! i really liked it!

then yesterday (friday)
we went to the river again.... (i was gonna bring a bottle with me so i could take some of the holy water with me home but i forgot :)) and in the evening me and robbie went for a two hour long walk... very nice and we just talked about random stuff and well i got a close indepth presentation of how israelis look at one of our times worst conflicts.... (flat mamma jag vet att jag lovade att inte diskutera politik men i mitt forsvar sa diskuterade jag inte utan meerly fragade efter hans asikt) robbie told me about what he thought of the whole conflict between israelis and palestinians and i must say with sadness in my voice that it creeped me out and im not sure i see a future for this country.... meeting all these ppl and knowing that their opinion is probably ten times less open minded and reasoonable than the one which was presented to me makes me see little future for this country... i really do not think that they will ever learn to get along.... its just to much which they have no understanding for between eachother... sad..... anyways

saturday... today we spent the entire day by the pool the ppl i meet try to speak english but give up after a short while (funny enough though is that i dont feel shut out or alone in spite of this :))
AND i managed to have an entire conversation in hebrew with and 8 year old (well i think he's actually 11 (and he smokes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!- like everyone here) but he looks like hes 8 :)) i lent him sunscreen and it went something like :
boy: am i white anywhere?
me taking some of his chin: no
him stroking it out once more: okay?
me: yeah okay

hehey! :D all that in hebrew! im actually very impressed!

right so now im gonna go shower then eat dinner. dont know what im doing tonight but tomorrow early early morning were going to tel aviv and from there to jerusalem so i dont think ill be able to write for a week but ill try to remember as much as possible and report back later... the plan is sunday jerusalem going back to tel aviv to sleep monday jerusalem again sleeping in tel aviv tuesday dead sea and then either meeting danna wednesday-thursday or going back here to kyriat shmona... it all depends on wether or not i can get in contact with danna gaaaaaaaaaaahhh!!

oh well this was one of those massive long posts again but hey its not em who has to read it :D:D:D:D:D:D

shalom!
