Im baaaaacckkkk

Wow that was corny. First off I'd like to thank everyone who wished me a happy birthday via facebook or email. Feeling the love from so many close ones meant so much to me. It was the first time I had heard from a lot of good friends, and I hope it serves as a catalyst to stay in touch.
I finally got back to my apartment which I missed oh so dearly. Between going to Haifa, my cousins Kibbutz, and Caesaria Sea, I've spent one day here in the past week and a half. Caesaria was an awesome experience though. We arrived Wednesday around 10 and split into 3 groups. My group got to go kayaking first, which was mild but pretty fun. Just being on the water was really enjoyable.








After that we ate lunch, which consisted of crappy pasta, rice, and low quality meat. This is what we ate for wednesday, thursday, and friday (except for dinner and breakfast, where they took away the meat). After lunch we went windsurfing, which was far and away my favorite activity. It was very challenging, but after the second day I really started to get it down.

Me learning on land how to windsurf

I was kind of upset that my group didn't get to go out on the water with Gal Friedman (Only group 1 did), the only Israeli to ever win a gold medal in the olympics, which he won in Athens for windsurfing. We talked a little with him about his experience, and what he's up to these days. That night we had planned on going out, because my birthday was the next day, so technically at 12 I was 19. We weren't aware that transportion would be so difficult from where we were, so nothing ended up happening either night. It was a bummer, but I've never been a huge advocate of partying on my birthday.

My friends mobbing me at midnight

Thursday consisted of surfing, and some more windsurfing. Surfing was extremely unsuccessful for me. Kind of a let down, but oh well. Friday there was Kite Surfing and some other activities, but I was pretty burnt out on the water sports, so I just chilled and tossed the disc with Mike and Jeremy.

Practicing our technique

All in all it was a great trip. Now I got nothing to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This next week is another holiday, so I don't have any activities until thursday. NBA STARTS IN 11 DAYS. Go Rays! To all those who wish to call me, feel free............. even though it's not free. I try to keep the convos brief due to the charges, but I'd love to hear from those who take the time to read this. Be aware that my time is 7 hours ahead of those in Eugene. 011-972-52-525-5103.

Peace and Luv!
