lots of soccer... and a dirt road

This past weekend was pretty relaxing. Friday, after going to the beach- Marisa, Rachel, and I went to Tel Aviv. We did some laundry at the Davis's apt, and then went to the port for dinner. The Chile v Spain game was on and so we watched it while we were there. The manager came over to us at one point and asked where we were from, we said the states we were from and he was like perfect. We were a little confused but then he asked us to help someone that needed to figure out how to call the states. A few minutes after I went over to help, he came over with passion fruit smoothies for our help. After dinner we walked back to the Davis's apt before Marisa and I went to meet Dana and Ashleigh at a party in a farm like thing. It was pretty fun- though the taxi driver wouldnt drive on the dirt road and made us walk. It was supposed to be a 10 min walk... but about half way we got picked up by a car to drive us the rest of the way. At the party there was a guy that was playing Israeli folk songs... I didn't recognize most of them, but the ones that I did recognize I loved hearing- I felt like I was back at camp. It was very much like song session at Chi on Friday nights. People were dancing and singing along to the music.

Saturday, we spent most of the day at the beach- where I ran into some guy from Minnesota/Emtza region that were on Muss, who all know Sally. Since I was so burnt from being at the beach for a few hours Friday I chilled under an umbrella the whole time- and slept most of the time we were at the beach, it was extremely relaxing. After we went back to the Davis's apt and chilled napped- after Shabbat was over we went to get Sushi take out and went back to watch the USA v Ghana game. After we went back to Bat Yam and I skyped with my parents and then went to sleep.

I didnt need to be at work until 11 today so I was able to sleep in a little. I spent most of the day finishing the implementation plan and helping out with some other things as well- the implementation plan is so tedious. I will also be helping out the website sometime soon. Didn't do anything special the rest of today, just relaxed... I haven't been feeling the best so I'm trying to take it easy.

There are so many homeless cats in Israel. I will be walking to the bus or to the store or wherever and there will be many cats, meowing for my attention. It is heartbreaking to see these hungry and homeless cats. I wish Israel was taking more action to help end this. It makes me miss my cats at home so much.

Also after this summer I don't think I'll need to watch soccer EVER again.
