Come on England!

Before I came to Israel I didnt really follow football and it wasnt until I got to Tel Aviv that I'd even
attended a football match (thanks super friendly Northern Ireland supporters). After 9 months I think I might almost be considered a football fan, I've watched enough games in Mafia here.  What started as an excuse to get out of the volunteer house and drink a few beers has turned into something more.  I am looking forward to the England vs Uraguay match later this evening. Hopefully we dont get kicked out of the cup like Spain, last night. 

In none football related news, on Saturday we had the option of going on a walk in the Negev desert organised by the kibbutz.  If we could manage to get up for the 8am start, which meant a
few people didnt make it.  The walk wasnt very long but the scenery was beautiful and the weather scortchio! I cant remember what the place we went to was called.  It was very close to Ben Gurion's tomb which we also went to see.

Tomorrow I am going to Kibbutz Geva to visit my friend and see some new faces for a change.
I havent really made a plan but its close to Nazereth so might do a bit of travelling around on Saturday and Sunday too.  

Catch you in a week or so!
