Natalie and Wendy led us on a walk to Neve Ilan.. our next-door neighbor town :) on the way there, we walked up to a beautiful viewpoint, and of course all of this took place during the magic hour… aka sunset :)
Rooooomies <3
Ben and Justin choosing nearby targets to throw rocks at.. haha
The next day we hiked down the valley from Yad Hashmona, the Nahal Yitlah. Then we hiked up the otherside of the mountain. It was intense and rewarding... our view at the top was amazing and it was awesome to see Abu Ghosh, Kiriat Jaarim, Yad Hashmona, and Neve Ilan all in one sight.
This is a cistern. It's deep and cold and scary..
..and Bill's son Zach went right in for a swim :) haha
Finally made it to the top!! :)
Goats galore!!
On our return home as the sun was setting
The next day we had some classes, an ultimate frisbee match, then started the celebration of Shabbat. Somewhere in the middle of the festivities we took some time for group photos :)
