This post does not so much pertain to learning about Israel, but being sick in another country teaches you quite a bit about the people.
I am all better! Thank the powers that be, I am so happy I will not be missing out on the Independence day food.
Well, following the Dead Sea, the next day we went to the Mediterranean to insure that I was thoroughly sunburned, turns out being sick and laying in the breeze of the Sea is not that bad. We listen to music and talked about peoples experience in the Army, and how school works here.
The more opportunity I can find to compare and contrast my life with the women I have met here, the more curious and intrigued I become.
After the Beach we went out for Hummus, which is amazing but it was not the best idea for my still unsettled stomach.
We went back to the house and I quickly tried to begin sleeping and staying hydrated in preperation for the following day.
Sadly I realized the next morning I was still not running on all cylinders, and I needed to continue resting. Shenhav's mom, who does not speak English (so our communications were quite limited) was very helpful.
Of all things in the world, I was craving Ramen, and I had this idea that Ramen would fix my stomach, Shenhav's mom brought home instant noodles, and waalaa! That was the beginning of being better again. She continued to bring back considerably more instant noodles, more than I could possibly eat in my time remaining in their house, which was very sweet of her.
So I am back on my feet, and ready to take on Tuesdays adventures. thanks to one of the most unhealthy American past times, Ramen noodles.
