YAM LE'YAM

We survived.

5 days, extreme heat, early mornings, long days of hiking, snakes, goats, cows, injuries, sickness, getting pegged and getting lost..

We finished Machon last week, Amy joined us for shabbat at Beit Vegan hostel near Har Hertzl and from Sunday morning to thursday night, Nir hiked the Yam Le'Yam trail. We walked from the Mediterranean Sea, from near Rosh Hanikra, to the Kineret. Or most of it at least...

It was survival of the fittest. We started strong with 22. Walking in up to 35 degree heat every day, we lost more people to injuries and sickness; until our group became smaller and smaller.

We had a crazy week. We swam in beautiful springs every day and climbed Israel's second highest mountain, Har Meron.

It was an incredible bonding time for Nir, cooking dinner together most nights and spending time together out in the bush. We unfortunately didn't finish the entire hike due to time constraints...

General consensus from Nir: Yam Le'yam was incredible.

We are on a free weekend at the moment and start a 2 week Hineni seminar in Jerusalem on sunday, whilst living independently in apartments.

Until next time,
Much Nir loving
