Jan 15-24

All last week we went to the army. We volunteered through a program called Sar-el שר-אל . We were on base Tel-hashomer, Bakum, which is the base all the new recruits first come through. We put together all the bags the new recruits get( underwear, socks, berets etc...) and on wednessday we got to give them out! We also made other bags for the soldiers with things like bamba( Israeli snack) beasley(same) and shower bags. We unfortunatly had to live in soldiers bunks( just the group thank g-d) and eat their food. Over all I think it was an awesome experience, and I'd totally do it again.

We got back thursday, and I just slept all day/night.

Friday, I did pretty much the same thing, add movies and corn fritters into the mix.

Today was a bit more interesting. I went to Rischon-Leszion to meet a friend and we went grocery shopping and out for israels national food: FALAFEL!( sooooooooooooo good here.) Then we went and hung out at his place for a bit, listened to some music(hebrew and english,) and eventually he drove me home.

Tomorrow I'm going to the Ramla shuk with my roommate, and then going to Bars place in the evening.

Oh btw, I made salad for dinner. I know this isn't very interesting, but it was really good, and I just wanted to assure you all I AM getting my veggies. ( I had crackers eggs and a pear, so the other food groups are covered too)
