3rd day

Today started off up north where we visited the grave sites of Rabbi Akiva and the Ramchal. The rabbis on the trip gave short stories about both and what they stood for. Later on we were at a the kibbutz Misgav Am where we listened to extremist talk about Lebanon and Israel. He is a cotton farmer on the kibbutz and he made Aliyah in his early 20s. This was followed by a river rafting trip on the Jordan river. It was so much fun, I am finally conquering my fear of the water. Now doing anything extreme like canoeing and kayaking does not scare me as much. It was a great experience. Tomorrow is Shabbos and I am really excited! I miss celebrating Shabbat!
