Shvil week 1

So last week was the first week of Shvil Yisroel. It was so much fun. The first two days were a bit hard, but great. At the end of the second day we went up a mountain and the guide played Bridge over Troubled Water and we all looked out and just enjoyed that moment. I won't forget that. The food is great. We start off the day with snack, we get on the trail and first break we listen to morning song that one of us chooses and Yoash, the guide, tells us what the day is going to look like. Second break we have our breakfast. We take more breaks and around 1 usually we have lunch. After the hiking for the day we get to the campsite and one of the staff members, Har-El, makes soup and he almost always has it ready by the time we get there. Its the best soup ever. Then we make dinner. Everyone on the trip helps out with every meal, we clean, make, and eat the food. Its great.

On the third day of shvil I actually had a bit of hypothermia and I was dehydrated so I had to join Har-El and our night guard Gil for the Jeep ride of that day so I would get better. I got to see where the food comes from and all that good stuff. I got to sleep for most of the day. Once we got back Har-El set up the campsite and I helped him with the soup and then everyone came and I was really happy to see them. It was weird not being with them that day. The rest of the week went much better I stayed hydrated and warm. I can't wait for the rest of shvil, also its such a great group of people I'm with, I love them all so much. Pictures will be posted soon.
