wed 24.06.

We are having day off! All soldiers and workmen are rewarded and having fun at swimming pool. First we had opportunity to go on a trip to Tel Aviv, but since not every volunteer wanted to go, so no one could go. How fun is that.

We woke up before six in the morning. Turns up one elder lady had fall and hurt herself during the night as she went to bathroom. For some odd reason poor lady went back to bed, where other people found her covered in blood. Madrich took her to hospital, whole full day experience with lots of waiting, test and scans. Apparently she took sleeping pill and forgot to mention about it to doctors...

Anyways, we are all by ourselves this day. Raise the flag, do some cleaning. Fellow volunteers are getting cranky with each other. I see lots of bitching and rolling eyes. Whispering and making secret alliances. Like we were in primary school. *sigh*

Madrich left us some papers to learn hebrew. One of the hebrew speaking volunteers offered us a lesson but not all wanted to hear her. I tried to learn but hebrew is so hard. I know only few words and phrases. We went to shekem to spend some time.

Shekem is the place to meet soldiers. And we sure did. My roommate was gorgeous hot Italian chick. Do I need to say more. Men went crazy about her. I'm not familiar with this jewish custom to set up couples and be so awfully direct on these dating issues. Live and learn. We sit on the bench, having icecream and men start to gather around. Man who is in charge for catering food in five army bases wanted to take us into his office and have a cup of coffee. I wanted to say few words about breakfast and dinner but I could not, cause he was so nice person and really proud of his work.

Since we are alone and half of us is French, we had French speaking madricha for a while:

This man is responsible of keeping our dining room kosher:

Look at the cats! They know there is food. But do not feed them or you will be kicked out from the base! I will tell you more about cats later.

It is really hot and my shirt smells terrible. In the eveving we saw a movie named Defiance. Daniel Graig as Tuvia Bielski and Liev Schreiber as Zus Bielski. Very good movie about jewish partisans in the Belarussia forests. Based on a true story.
