The Champions

I don't think I could even explain what's happening right now in Tel Aviv on the bus. I am trying to escape the stress by an ipod and a paper and pen. I write not only to escape but to do it before I get home which looks like it is gonna be around 3am by the looks of our missing students and stolen passports...BH none of them where mine. Today was so long I'm forgetting what we did already. So of course we had classes, which contained more relationship advice and secrets of Torah. I met with Shira to discuss my judgments of myself and others and how or if I can overcome them. I mean is it realistic to walk around without judgement at all? No...thats not really obtainable. So I must find peace in judging everyone favorably...that's the key..."simple?" and obvious but according to everything we are taught to be is truth is within us all along, you just have to look hard.

I then attempted to enjoy lunch which I am getting pretty sick of cucumber and tomato...okay mom...I believe you now!
And so off to Tel Aviv. We went to a blind Museum! This was such a life changing experience! A museum in complete darkness led by a blind person through rooms and situations. So basically for 45 min I and my group where blinded. The challenge is to use your other senses to get through. Of course with some help from our guide. So at first I was terrified. We were led into rooms that were like a jungle, a river boat, a market place, a concert and a cafe were we had to pay blind and eat blind and got to ask our guide questions about what it is like live blind. By the end I really began to not feel bad for the blind but rather appreciate how much they get out of life from all the other senses. I suggest this experience to all.

Now on to a great dinner in Tel Aviv and a "beautiful" night on the beach that had a bar that extended to the waves. We smoke hookah and drank a SOTB with the flour like sand under our feet and 85 degree ocean waters. But there were a lot of Jelly fish so it was scary to go in the dark.( NO MORE HOSPITAL VISITS PLEASE). How can I mention that all the mellow people did this and all the crazies ( that i love so so much!! )went to the club and thought it was a great idea to meet us...which for social reasons of course it's a great idea...but OYYYY....The large amount of people, drunk only added to the unpaid $200 shecks, thefts of wallets and passports and missing people...

The people came back but the other things were gone for good. A few panic attacks later ( literally), we were off safe with Harel! BLESS HIS SOUL!

Of course the aviator soundtrack was playing on my ipod during the later part of these events. And I sat there in the dark staring straight ahead thanking Hashem I didn't lose anything but my sleep.

TRUE CHAMPS we are I like to think...TRUE CLASS
