Today was an amazing day! We started off with our morning Tefilla groups, where we learned about morning prayers. After that, we had a quick breakfast and went on our way. Our first stop was the Kineret; the Sea of Galilee. There, we got into groups and made our own rafts out of bamboo, barrels, rope, and wood; we would later use them to race in the water! Next, we went on an amazing water hike where we went down a narrow path of water that went up to our hips. We had a great time as we saw other buses there and got to hang out and cheer with the other NCSYers. Our next stop was my favorite so far: Aqua Kef, a collection of inflatable water obstacles in the Kineret! Like the water hike, it was really great to see and hang out with other buses. Hands down, the best part was when my friend and I jumped off a 30-foot cliff-like inflatable into the water. Later, we continued to the city of Tiberius where we got about 45 minutes to explore and walk around with our friends. After that, the whole bus got onto a boat and we had a great time dancing, playing games, and listening to music. We finished off the explosive day with a delicious dinner in a restaurant in Tiberius. I can’t wait for more days like these (and more water sports)!!!!!
