This cat we met and fed in Netanya.
These 2 pictures were taken in Maboa.
lol. It seems this past week was characterized by all the dirty little details.
On Sunday my Israelli roommate taught me how to do Sponja!! (it was my clean up job)
So for all you Americans who don't know what this entails I am going to give you a play by play of the job.
Step Number One: Pour buckets of soapy water on the NOT swept floor.
Step Number Two: Take a squeagy and PUSH AROUND THE DIRT.
Step Number Three: Once all the corners have been thouroghly dirtified, pull the dirt and water to the middle of the floor with the squeagy.
Step Number Four: Push all the gunky water into the drain.
Step Number Five: OOOOOOO, My favorite part! TAKE THE GUNK OUT OF THE DRAIN WITH YOUR HANDS!!! (okay i didn't do this step :D)
Step Number Six: Put a shmata over the squeagy and use it to dry the floor. (genious!)
Step Number Seven: Pour fabric Softner on the Shmata and go over the floor one more time to make the room smell as if you ACTUALLY cleaned it :)
And there you have it folks- SPONJA! [stay tuned for pics... they r on my friends cam]
On Monday we went to a place called MaBoa... i think. it was at the bottom of these beautiful mountains (again- i'll post pics as soon as i can). We hiked through water and rocks, under this canapy of palm tree's bamboo and other plants for about 2 hours. It was a great first major trip because as it seems, when you and everyone around you keep slipping on rocks and getting pulled into strange currents- you tend to bond in order to stay alive. ;-D At some places we had to hold hands and make a chain so that nobody got hurt. I did the hike with two girls from London. lol- love the accent!
Not to mention at the end we got to go into this giant natual pool where everyone was pushing everyone else in. So basically we all ended up soaked and caked in dirt (from the hike back- which we did on the mountain side). It was the most fun that I think i've ever had!!!
Tuesday I went to Natanya to catch some sun... but to our luck we got there when it was already dark. :} woops. And since we had spent all out money on the ticket, we basically just hung out with my friends friend and walked around seeing the sights. We even ended up spending the night there..... a long sleepless night.
In the end, even though it was dark, we went to the beach and got all gross and sandy before going home at 6:00 am. Where we fell into bed and slept until we had to get up to get ready for Succot.... which brings me to my next entry.
