Coming to Nazrat

Hi Everyone!
So I've now been in Israel for almost a week. We spent the first several days doing orientations and learning more about the program. After that we had a mini-trip (a tiyul). We went spelunking through caves, spent a night in a bedouin tent and did the most intense hike of my life. At some points in the hike, we had to climb up the cliff wall- keep in mind we were in the middle of the desert in summer. I already have a tan from that and at least 7 bruises. It was definitely a lot of fun- I show off my bruises with pride.
We first arrived to Natzrat Ilit yesterday afternoon. Our absorption center is really nice- its up on a hill so we have a great view and a really nice breeze. My apartment has 5 people in it- 2 people in one bedroom, 2 people sleep in the common room and I have a room to myself- I lucked out big time. As soon as I figure out how, I'll put pictures up.
The people on this program all seem amazing. Everyone is really nice, really outgoing and have great personalities. It's really nice to be on a program with older people- its not clicky at all. So far so good!
