As I start writing this post and Karla is sitting next to me we are already laughing. What an adventure.
Nadav told us that he will pick us up between 8-8:30am. We were ready by 8am waiting for him. This is when I took some of Karla's pictures sleeping. he arrived by 9am and Karla had her coffee and some burekas for the trip.
Destination: Dead sea.
The road was nice. The change from city to desert happened in a matter of a blink of an eye.
We saw quite some mountains and talked about how most of the country is desert and Nadav told us the efforts the country is making in order to start using the desert smartly, and encouraging people to move to it.
Upsssssssss. There was a police check. (side note: Nadav has rastas which for the police means that he could have drugs). Mom we had no drugs, don't worry!!!! :)
The police officer asked us to park the car. Thank god Nadav was driving and the police approach his side. I would have totally panic!!!
He showed his driver license and his army ID which stated that he is an officer.
They asked us to stepped out of the car and told us they will search the car.
I have to admit that I was a bit nervous but it was a very funny situation. As the officer searched Karla's bag she kept asking him to please be careful with her make up, that she has nothing else other than her make up and girl stuff.
It took no more than 3 mins and off we went to the dead sea. The color of the water was beautiful an the sun was shinning over the Mountains of Jordan.
As we approached the public beach of Ein Gedi the car that parked next to is asked us about what happened before that the police stopped us and that we looked suspicious. Jajajajaja
Karla went to put her bathing suit on and Nadav and I went to the shore. Karla had a blast in the water. She even became friend of a "viejo verde" Jajaja who was asking her to give him a kiss... Jajajajaja.
Romi took some pictures and collected some salt rocks. Just a little souvenir.
We continued to Massada. We were lucky to have a blue sky. Karla took a short nap and I tried to take a picture of me jumping but we failed.
As I was trying to back up to set the camera in autoshooting I did not see the bench and felt backwards. Jajajaja of course those things happen to me. Jajaja
From Massada we tried to take Karla to ride a camel as it was in the to do list. As soon as we approached the bedouins tent she felt that it was like a circus because of the thousands of tourist who were riding the camels and refused to do it.
We went back to Jerusalem to picked up Nadav's car and we followed him to his house.
Wowwwwwwww. What a nice family!!!! We have nothing other than good things to say. Since the minute we walked into the house we felt welcoming and the warmth they spread around.
We ate something because we hadn't eaten all day. We took a shower and got ready to welcome Shabbath.
We had a beautiful Israeli Shabbat dinner. I love Shabbat dinners (i really hope with time I can start having more dinners at my house). They made such a great effort to speak English and to communicate with us. We spoke about the difference in the educational system between Israel and the US. We also talked about what we do in the US, and life.
Nadav and Karla were tired but Nadav insisted that we should do something because it was our last night. That been said, I supported Nadav's idea and we went to his friend's house.
His fiends were nice. One of his friend looked like Karla's friend and she could not stop looking at him: he probably thought that Karla liked him... Jajajajaja. It was a very relaxing night. We went back home by midnight.
