Beach, buses, and Brenner

So today was Shabbat meaning that most things were closed. I got 12 hours of sleep which was amazing. Rachel Davis, her Aunt Jill, Marissa, and I walked to the beach and relaxed there for a few hours. Rachel had to get back to Tel Aviv for dinner, so we left the beach after a few hours and her and Jill headed back to Tel Aviv. Marissa and Ashleigh came over and we cooked dinner. After I headed to Tel Aviv to meet Ari Orenstein and Rachel for dessert. I had to take 2 buses to get there, and again had an adventure in the process. This whole language barrier is really difficult. On the bus the driver spoke Moroccan Arabic and French because he was from Algeria- so no English. The ladies sitting in front of me were able to help, but there English wasn't the best. I get so flustered when I am trying to speak and mess up tenses. Once I finally got to the port, I had to find Max Brenner's- and I went the wrong way. Eventually I found my way to Max Brenner's and met up with Ari and Rachel. We got a really delicious chocolate covered waffles thing. We ate it in less than 4 minutes. After Rachel and I headed back to Bat Yam; volunteering starts tomorrow and we both spent a lot of time in the sun today.
