Well, I think I’m finally starting to get the hang of this place. Branching out a bit more, going places I’ve never been.
First days I stayed at a teacher’s house in an area I’d never been to before – that was nice, and peaceful. Afterwards I went with a friend to a Simchat Beit Hashoeva, singing and dancing in the Rova – fun, but smaller than I imagined. It was great to be back in the City, I just love that place. And no, don’t know what you’re talking about, of COURSE I only went where I was supposed to, of COURSE I didn’t go thru the area I wasn’t supposed to be at 9 o clock at night. Of course.
The next day I went to Birkat Kohanim at the Wall – there were tons of people, kinda a madhouse, but an exhilarating madhouse. Loved it. Got a little lost on the way out (found myself somehow walking thru a market manned by – well, people who are not generally too friendly) but I was with a friend, and bh we made it through. It’s all good. 
The school took us on a trip that afternoon to a gorgeous beach. I’d forgotten how much I love jumping into waves and the sand and sea and things like that. I went shell hunting and wave-riding and later on, there was singing and dancing. It was lots of fun. Plus later that night I got to meet up with a friend I haven’t seen in a while.
Speaking of friends I haven’t seen in a while, tomorrow I’m hopefully gonna be able to see some friends I haven’t seen in two years!! Can’t wait. Hope it all works out.
I hope you all are doing well. Keep in touch, cuz I’m not always able to call but that doesn’t mean I don’t want to talk!!
