Scott and I didn't make the same bus as everyone else yesterday because doing our laundry ended up taking longer than we thought. Thus we got to the central bus station at 6:45, fifteen minutes after our initial bus was supposed to leave. We took the 8:15 bus to Arad, and chilled in the bus station for a while. We bought Noah a gift for his birthday (today): a rastafarian wine holder, which is also holding its dick. It is a pretty funny centerpiece, I'll be sure to put up a picture of it later.
Once we got here, Noah came to get us from the bus stop and we chilled in the apartment for a bit before going to the bar. That devolved into going back to Maddie's and Arielle's apartment, and then back to Noah's to sleep. It was a good time.
Then, today, the scouts who came with us (Mei, Maya, Shir, and Nitzan) left shortly before lunch--which we had in a park nearby. We then listened to two speakers from Young Judaea talk to us about the Garin. We haven't done any work with Darfuris yet, but we're supposed to meet some tonight for dinner. I'm looking forward to it--this is turning out to be a pretty good weekend. It's good to see all the people from section 3, particularly the judaeans--I've missed them, I wish we could just all be together for the year. Oh well, this gives us all a good excuse to visit other cities.
For some reason that I can't place, I love the Negev--I like Arad much more than Bat Yam, even though there is undoubtedly less to do here. It was Ben-Gurion's dream to colonize and settle the Negev, and I can see why. There's just something so enchanting about the desert. Also, the weather is much better--there's almost no humidity.
Anywho, we're having a relaxed afternoon before we go to the dinner tonight. I look forward to the rest of this weekend, everything has been fairly fun so far.
Shabbat shalom!
