Jillian: So far this trip is AMAZING!!! We went to the Kotel for Shabbat. Then we also went and prepared food for the poor. Also we went to the City of David, and went through Hezekiah’s Tunnel. Then we went back to the Kotel to take pictures. Today is Yom Hashoah. In the morning we went to Theodore Herzl’s grave and saw Yitzchak Rabin’s grave too. Then we went to Yad Vashem the Holocaust memorial site. I cried a lot! Now we are heading down to the desert! I am having a great time and making a lot of friends.

Lani: This trip is soooo much fun!!! My favorite thing we have done so far is going to Hezekiah’s Tunnel. It was really cool walking through the tunnel with a few flashlights as our only light. The water was very cold but after awhile you couldn’t notice it any more. It was really cool to see the different levels of water and the different ways that people carved the rock out. And as an added bonus after we were done in the tunnel we got an AMAZING workout walking back up from the tunnels. ;)
