I Heart NY







This group is amazing! Our evening flight home to Cincy was cancelled and you should have seen each and every marcher jump for joy when they learned we'd be spending another night together in New York. Even us chaperones have grown accustomed to getting between three and five hours of sleep a night. And it gives me an opportunity to catch up on this blog a little bit.








Yesterday we toured Tel Aviv and did quite a bit of shopping -- first in the flea market of old Jaffa/Yaffo where we honed our bartering skills and then in the high end shops of Tel Aviv. Afterwards, we had a great dinner and then finished the day with a bonfire. After everyone spoke of what moved them the most about their experience in Poland and Israel, we danced and sang with a trio of musicians who mysteriously showed up at our campfire. I knew we had a smart group of kids in this group, but was impressed at what a talented group it turned out to be. Carly Cantor immediately took the microphone and led us in a great rendition of some good campfire oldies. Then Harrison Steinbuch played the drum, Robbie Levy played guitar and sang for us and Daniel played the guitar too. It was great!








This entire experience was amazing. I'm not sure if I have any new pictures to post, but I'll find some oldies for your enjoyment. See you tomorrow morning at 8:15.
