Here’s what Jacob missed by going to Jersualem: playing the bongos to Bob Marley music on the beach as the sun went down with people who speak a different language. I guess that’s what he gets for choosing to go and visit holy places instead of staying here for the weekend! (I’m sure they’re all having an amazing time there while we’re lazy and crazy here!)

The funnest part about joining in the festivities was that while it was a big cultural experience, it just reminded me of some kind of block party, or even a 4th of July party that I might attend back home - there were even fireworks at the end of the hour and a half long program! The party itself: people were eating and talking and having fun, instead of grilling burgers and brats they were serving falafel, and the program was made up of kids doing skits, a choir singing songs, and even a small ‘band’ playing all the music live. There was a stage with a homemade background and lights and just a whole lot of people. It was pretty groovy to be included, even though we had to guess at what was actually happening!

And now it’s obviously been an exhausting day and we must get our rest - tomorrow I have big plans to build a sand castle on the beach, so you can see why I will need all my energy for the day!

Maybe I’ll have time for one more guest post before Jacob returns and changes his password so I can’t do these anymore!
