Day 6

Erich

 

Today was quite the day to say the least. To begin the day, I woke up from one of the best sleeps I have had in a while. I had breakfast with my host family and after that was driven to Har Vagai.  From there, just me and my class were driven to Beit Sefer Hagomeh which is our Israeli counterpart school but for our elementary. We first arrived and when we walked in, the kids began to scream. We introduced ourselves and shortly after that one of the kids kept on shouting my name. After that we did some presentations about Canada and our school and the kids I think enjoyed it. Then we danced. We walked outside and as soon as the Israeli folk music began, we all danced.  It was a great way to start the day.
From there the bus picked us up with the Israeli pen pals and we headed over to Tel Hai College. We first went to the science building and did some experiments regarding marshmallows and microwaves.  It was pretty fun. After the experiment finished, the teacher decided to throw random stuff into the microwave and see what would happen. My favorite thing was when he put in the CD and it made a cool burnt design in the CD. From there we went to the Tel Hai Museum and learnt about Josef Trumpeldor and what he did. It was an interesting museum.
After the museum we went to the Canada centre to ice skate and swim. The plastic skates were... well painful to say the least but all in all it was pretty fun. We then went swimming but sadly the water slide was closed. But it didn't matter we found a way to have fun. We decided to leave the pool early to eat some ice cream. It was good. 
To sum it up today was quite and enjoyable day.
