more israel..

adi and olivier's wedding was spectacular. right on the coast in qesaria, right on the water with delicious argentian themed food. ceremony was short, dinner was right after, no speeches, and then straight to dancing. adi looked radiant in the dress she designed and never left the dance floor for like 5 hours. dope friends too...

next day i went with jake and his friend to herzliya beach. jake is way dope. he's got these eyes as big as moons and he's quirky and i love how his mind is quirky and weird, i became instantly enamored...

anushow hertzillya is a way a nicer beach than tel aviv and we hung out there all day. we got some shakhooka and some hoomoos. for going to the beach every day, i really haven't been getting super tan like i usually do. i left the beach around 5 and then had to quickly get ready for sharill's friends wedding. again, the wedding was very beautiful in a wonderful location. i met some really cool people again. there was actually another person that recognized me from the olivadi's wedding. i was embarassed because i was wearing the same suit. but that was crazy coincidence. the wedding was fun, butt i honestly wanted to run off to meet jake...

plus it was adiha's birthday. left the wedding, but adi's little gathering was over by the time i got back to the compound. i called jake and went to meet him at lima, lima. got there at 12:00am and met two of his brothers and shir was there as well. we stayed until like 4:30am, then went to some place they were playing more latin/samba type music where guys had their shirts off and were like four feet wide. we stayed there for a minnit, and then went to go eat. fred is a little boy but proceeded to eat 3 sandwiches and all my pasta. mini crush f'sho... we got back at like 6am and went to bed soon thereafter. problem was, i had to get up at 8am to go to haifa. it was yom kippur and i was driving up to haifa with sharill and yax. i had to catch a cab from mc to olivadi's and then get my overnight bag ready and then sharill picked me up and we went to the dopest beach of the entire trip. forget what it was called (dor habonim beach, that's why i took a picture of it!)

beautiful best beach in israel that i went to. people were putting up elaborate tents to camp out overnight for yom kippur. it was really nice and peaceful. we then left and then i went up to haifa and met stainmaker's sister to pick up her portfolio. hmm... vibes. we then went to sharill's house. her mom cooked us a meal, then we walked the streets of haifa overlooking the bahai garden's on yom kippur where the streets were full of people walking and biking because of the absence of cars. except for a few assholes. i returned and finally got a good night sleep for the first time in israel. the next day we woke up and yax came over and we hiked down a trail to a spring where we dipped in 7 times. we then walked past the arab community and went to the beach in haifa next to the monster. beautiful and quiet day. we returned and had dinner and i took the bus back to tel aviv.

last night, i met up with olivadi at the house and we went to go get really good hoomoos. jake came over later and i dunno... he left at like 3 and then i talked israel with olivadi until 4:30am. got to bed at 5:30 and woke up at 7:30 to catch my flight.

one of the best trips i've ever taken.

but maybe i always say that.
