"Eifo Ha Sherutim"

After a much needed sleep, we got up around 7 for breakfast at the hostel. Eggs, toast, Cream Cheese, Cereal, nothing out of the ordinary, except for the cold fish. Eww. Someone said that it was probably herring, all I know is it was NOT yummy. 

From here, we hopped onto the bus for our second hike. On the way there, Yuval taught us our phrase of the day, as seen in the title, which means "where is the bathroom?"

  This hike  started at the top of a look-out, and after a brief history lesson regard the 6 day war and the Yom Kippur War, we descended down along a canyon - incredible views and actually a pretty solid hike. 

Fast Forward after lunch, and we traveled to the Yarden Winery - a world class, award winning winery in the Golan Heights. After a brief film and a tour, we had a tasting. Then several of us bought bottles of wine as gifts for our parents... or ourselves. More about that later. 

After the winery, we went to a hot spring - everyone went swimming, relaxed in what can only be described as a big, smelly hot tub.  Turns out the hot spring is heated by sulfur. Smelly, Smelly Sulfur. 

At this point, we went back to the hostel and spent the night relaxing and bonding as a group. Some of the gift bottles of wine didn't make it back to the states, but everyone had a great night. 

Overall, the whole group really bonded and it was great to see everyone getting along so easily.  Its true what they say about jews - we just don't seem to hesitate when it comes to making new friends.
