Me, Matt, Turner, Jenna, Seth, Allison, and Ari all traveled to Herzlia together to Jenna's apartment (well more like a mansion) She lives right on the marina where there are hundreds of fancy yachts and boats. She has a pool, sauna, steam room, hot tub, and workout room! I stayed there for 3 nights:) Every day we walked to the beach- soft sand and calm waves- and we went out to dinner on the marina one night. Mostly, thought, we hung out on her porch looking at the water and listening to music. Me and my friend Zach went for a run on the beach at night and ran almost two miles. It was the most exhilarating, liberating feeling I've ever had r and even though my stomach was cramping up I wanted to run faster and faster. I felt so free from all the restraints,obligations and pressures that is smothered onto you by the people in your life and society itself. I really feel that I have no ties holding me back from anything and that I have a whole world of endless opportunities.. and every road that I turn on (or get lost on) will take me somewhere new and exciting! There are so many things to be explored I feel restless just thinking about it. :)
we can lose ourselves
not find our way back home
till the whole world feels just like a saturday night
without a care in the world
without a net underneath us
floating through the air
high as a kite
(lyrics by Bob Schneider)
I will never make fun of you for getting lost. You turned it into an adventure and saw the best of it. That's what is so special about you.... your positive spirit, your wild enthusiasm for things, your adventure lust and your willingness to experience new things and open your mind to different opportunities. Your writing is very descriptive and we feel ourselves with you, experiencing it along with you. The run on the beach was especially fantastic. The shabbat was dreamlike.
