Israel-Family

First of all, for those of you who didn't know, I'm now in Israel! Before I tell you what we do here I need to tell you about family and what its like. It's so hot here that the average heat in the summer is around 36 degrees and at night it's around 20. So It's too hot to play outside when It's between 1-3 pm. So in that time you sleep or rest for 2 hours, which is called schnutz. Now that you know how hot it is, you should know about my family because It's big, and when I say big I don't mean 10 people big, I mean 35. Every friday, all the family comes together at where we're staying/my grandparents, and eat and eat and eat. We call it friday dinner. I think that pretty much sums up my family. 

The first thing we did after unpacking and recovering from jet lag was go to the pool. But this pool isn't like the Olympic pools, It's so much better. First of all, there's only one outdoor pool about double the size of the Olympic pools, and instead of walking into where you buy tickets and eat, you walk straight into the pool and theirs chairs and food inside the pool. Plus, if your from our Kibbutz, Kfar Blum, then you don't even have to pay. So It's bigger, easier to eat, more refreshing, and you don't have to pay. Now that's what I call a pool.
