Day two---also awesome. Started early this morning with hebrew placement test--went fine except for the speaking part---which I did not do so well on as we've never really talked in hebrew class. Then had a delicious lunch of שקשוקה (shakshuka) a tomato stew thing with egg in it that boils in the stew---it goes on a sandwich---fabulous, glad to be back with israeli food. Then we had a very exciting mandatory meeting...ish. Then a bunch of us went to דליה (daliah) a druze (no it's not a typo--try wikipedia for more information about the interesting druse if you haven't heard of them) village where we went shopping for trinkets. I bought a hookah and my suitemate seth bought tobacco flavored mango, peach, and mixed fruit---excited for a test run soon. Tonight we have a felafel dinner courtesy of the program and then a drum circle. Tomorrow ulpan classes start. For the next month, I'll be doing only hebrew for 4 hours a day!
