Kinnert from the Golan Heights

June 26th-27th

Me and 7 other MISTI students got together and traveled to the golan heights to go rapelling. The pictures are awesome and I wish I could post them all.

What happened the night before we went hiking in the Golan Heights-Yehudiya.

Our walk on a trail to see the sunset over the kinnert.


Group shot of all of us on our walk...







Cows :). I think they need to be milked...

This is the real thing..we are in the middle east...mines left in the ground from Israel fighting with Syria.

Our Mongolian hut we stayed in for the night...



Me outside it and below was the inside of the hut...


Eating dinner...pizza..what was open after shabbat ended on Saturday night.

I also got to swim in pools of water so after hiking for a couple of hours, swimming in water never felt so good.
