Day 15

Sean

Today on Yom HaAtzmaut we woke up in the morning ate breakfast and hung out at the hotel until the Yom HaAtzmaut plane show. We went up onto the roof of the hotel to watch it. The show started with four planes flying in uniform doing tricks and flying super close to the ground. After that groups of planes and one group of helicopters started flying by. The plane show lasted for about 20 minutes. After that we went into the basement of the hotel to have an indoor picnic. We were unable to have our picnic outside because of the wind. A bit later we walked to the military museum but we had to stop at a building on the way because it started raining. Eventually we made it to the museum. It was full of military equipment including tanks, artillery and lots and lots of guns. By then the temperature had increased and we wanted to get ice cream. We went to the sight of the first train station in the Middle East where there were lots of shops. Everybody ate ice cream and then we went to a workout park. We did a hardcore workout. After that Evan and Ariel bought a kite which we flew for a bit. Then we went to the beach where we waded into the water and did long jump in the sand. For dinner we went to Tel Aviv port. All the boys went to Aboulafia for dinner and ate pizza and bourekas. On the way back from the port we sang Aviv happy birthday and passed around special Alfajores cookies and Mallaby for Aviv. It was a great day despite the rain and the wind. We had a great Yom HaAtzmaut.
