Kibbutz Geva and Akko's Donkey advice for all humans.

Todays post a bit of a mismash of everything. Trips, Photos, goings on in Ein Hashlosha and music.

 

Firstly my visit to Kibbutz Geva was really nice!  The volunteers there were all lovely so thanks for a great weekend Geva!

The view from Kibbutz Geva

 
Their pub was very different to Mafia, has a pool table instead of a dance floor and it played lots of Jack Johnson and not Latino music.   It was good to see some different faces and meet new people.  The volunteers also get fed more than we do, Breakfast and lunch on working days and even get lunch on saturdays so I was well fed.   Having breakfast before I left on Sunday morning was a nice luxary.   They had some really nice yoghurts they make on the kibbutz apparently as they have cows and sheep.  Despite having cows like us,  they have significantly less flies (I have been told the cows attract the flies).  I think I saw about 2 in my whole time there while they are absolurtely everywhere here. 
 
I did pretty much the same thing as I do here on Saturday.  Spent all day sleeping and at the pool.  Decided to stay the next night too so I could go to Akko on Sunday morning and take the train home from there.


Akko Beach

Akko was interesting. One of the few places were I felt like I should get a guide as I don't know enough of the history. Unlike Jerusalem it isn't teaming with tourists where you can sneakily join in other people's tours for further information. It was nice to have a few hours wandering around anyway.

It's a little like deja vu in the volunteer house at the moment as we have now have 5 kittens living in the house. Back in October when I first moved in there were 3 kittens roaming around  the house too. They are super cute and all 5 have only just opened their eyes. Kinda glad I'm leaving before they start causing havoc though.

I am going to a lot of BBQs lately. 4 people are leaving tomorrow so we had a big leaving

BBQ for them at Tony 's workshop on Wednesday. This evening I am going back there for the guys who worked on getting the pool ready for opening,  much delayed BBQ. So much deliciously cooked meat.













I thought this car was pretty cool.. it says "Donkey advice for all humans: stop killing, violence, rape"



This song has been stuck in my head recently and its one I have picked up here so I'd thought I share it with you guys. The video has some very familiar scenes from my time in Israel too. Enjoy!
