Day 2: Exploring the South

The day started with an early wake up at 6:30am (12:30 in our minds because of jet lag.) We started by going to an overlook of the Negev to do tefila. It was mind blowing! We then went to a museum dedicated to Ilan Ramon.
We learned about Ilan Ramon and how he was the first Israeli in space, and how he and six other astronauts died in a tragic accident. After the museum we went on a hike at Ein Avdat with some amazing scenery and a waterfall. Then we went to Sde Boker, the town where David Ben Gurion is buried. We split up into small groups and went into the grocery store to get all the things for our lunch. We had lunch, and after we had a break on the nearby playground.
We then took a drive to a Bedouin experience where we rode camels. We then came back and had an amazing dinner. We talked with a local Bedouin woman who talked about her life. We then went to sleep in a huge tent all together!

Love,

Avi G and Avi K!
