Here I go again

Off on my lonesome for a bit, sorry about the gap between updates, I'll be sure to spam your inbox when I get to Jerusalem to make up for it. Anyways I've been privileged enough to be able to stay at two awesome kibbutzim (think small towns/communes when I say that). Har Amasa and Sansanna were especially awesome because you can just roll on up and they let you stay in a guest cabin for hikers. Really cool. Right now the Anemones are blooming: the flower not the sea creature. Thanks to that there were a ton of people out this past weekend. One of them gave me banana bread which was great. A final note, I'M HALF WAY THROUGH!!! There's the short summary of what's up, here's some pictures:
