We headed out to Kibbutz Geva and stopped a few places along the way. One of the places we went to was a monestary and a tank museum. It was very very hot and the sun was blazing, yet we ate lunch outside under the umbrellas of a nearby cafe next to the tank museum. When we went inside to get tickets, we ran into the same two women from the tunnel tour - Allison and Shelly! How small world again! We watched a movie about the tanks, history and training and then climbed over lots of them outside.
Afterwards we drove up to Kibbutz Geva by taking Highway 6, which is supposed to be a faster toll road. Yeah, right. We got stuck for over an hour waiting for an accident to clear up. We got to Geva and met Noa. We stayed in her brother's apartment, which was next to hers (He is away at school at the moment).
She made a delicious dinner for us and we helped clean up afterwards. She took us on a night tour of the kibbutz and saw the cows being milked.
The next morning we had breakfast in the dining hall. It was just like having a meal back in college, except that the whole community, kids and all, ate together. I had some steel cut oatmeal, cucumbers and red peppers, and a hard boiled egg. Everybody brings their own trays, plates and utensils onto a conveyor belt that goes into the dishwasher. Later, we went to Bet She'an, a place where many civilizations were built on top of each other. That will be the next entry.
