Leaving
Well, I'm all packed up and we'll leave for the airport around seven. I'm so sad. I won't see these people for another whole year. Here is a list of things that I enjoy about Israel in general and that I've enjoyed this trip:

All of the people that I see know me and ask the same questions, which can be annoying, but it's nice, too. - Sometimes, these people say things like "I was of the people that worked in your daycare center when you were two!"
- Each of my cousins, starting fromt the youngest, Ellie, who is a very quiet baby, though it's very easy to bring out her gorgeous smile.
- Corrie, who was really shy of me for a long time, but now she likes me. I love the mechigenas that we do together, her voice (it's hilarious), how smart she is (she can say "baby jogger"), and much more.
- Jan (Ban-Ban), who also has a really cute smile, already knows his colors, and is just really cute. Oh, and his laugh, which is hilarious because it goes up and down in a funny way.
- Neil, who is very loving and always gives people hugs.
- Liv, who is suddenly a not a toddler anymore and it's really weird.
- And my aunts and uncles. Sharon, who took care of me and makes really good tea and Git, who took me shopping and actually said that it was fun to do it with me.
- The beach and the pool.
- The monotony of kibbutz life. The way that all of the houses are the same, and have the same tiles. It's a nice reminder of when I was a kid.
- Just generally being here, my first home, with people that I know and have known my mother when she was a kid.
- Being identified as Adi and Robert's daughter, or Sharoni's niece, or Ruti's granddaughter.
- Biking everywhere.
- The relaxed feeling of people that don't have to worry much about money and any of the needs that are taken care of by it.
