Beach Before Byes

Jenna:
For me personally, today was a great but at the same time kind of a serious/sad day. It was fun, but at the same time laid back. We started off the day by going to the Tel Aviv beach. It was so much fun! We played in the ocean, got ice cream and just had an amazing time together! After the beach we went to the Palmach Museum where we learned about the fight for the state of Israel and about all the people who sacrificed their lives so that we could have the Jewish state that we have today. It was the coolest museum, because of how realistic it was and how it made you feel like you were really going back in time. It was very interesting but at the same time very inspirational, because if it hadn't been for all of the soldiers that sacrificed their lives we might not have Israel today.

After the museum we all went to a very nice restaurant for dinner and tried to make it last as long as possible, because after dinner the Ezra Academy kids went to the airport to go back to America. It was beyond sad for all of us to have to say goodbye to all of the Ezra kids. These past 2 weeks with them we all formed such close bonds. I know that I can speak for everyone when I say that we will miss them like crazy. It was a hard time for everyone when we watched them leave because we formed unforgettable memories with them (such as the sushi squad, the Boker Tov song and activities that we did with each other such as climbing Masada). There might have even been some tears when they left. It is sad to think that the Ezra kids just left and that we are will also be leaving in just 3 days.

This trip has been an experience that will be impossible to forget! We will obviously all be sad to leave, but as our tour guide Ariel told us today, we shouldn't be sad because it's over, we should be happy because it happened!

Final Dinner With Ezra - We'll Miss You!
