OUR FAVORITE PART OF THE TWO DAY TRIP

On Wednesday, March 12th we left Tel Aviv for the Negev. We visited David Ben Gurion's home: Sde Boker including the gravesites of the Prime Minister and his wife Paula and Mitzpe Ramon/the Ilan Ramon Museum and the spot for collecting colored sands of the desert.

On Thursday, March 13th we headed to Yam Hamelach (Dead Sea) for a cool dip and floating time, climbed Masada by cable car and descended by walking on the Roman trail and then finally, our camel ride at Kfar Hanokdim. The students had a blast considering the on and off cold, rainy and windy weather!

1. Liam Av Tal- "I loved every part of this trip!"
2. Ella Nissimov- "I loved the Dead Sea and camel ride so much! They were the funnest times of my life!"
3. Yoni Cohen- "I loved the Dead Sea, the camel riding and the sand mountains!"
4. Gabby Goldshide- "I loved the camels, the Dead sea, Masada and just being with my friends for 2 days!"
5. Tali Tufeld- "I loved camel riding and Masada!"
6. Dorel Cohen- "I loved the whole trip!"
7. Oren Tal- "Everything was fun, especially the Dead Sea!"
8. Roni Amar- "Dead Sea, camels, Masada, but, I didn't like my Dead Sea rashes!"
9. Amanda Rosenthal- "I loved the Dead Sea! Riding the camels was fun too! I had such a fun time!"
