The road is long and windy, like a good mystery unfolding, it twists and turns

Three of my roommates left for South Africa yesterday! It's down to just four of us now. Last night, some guys made a bonfire in a small cave in the desert. It took a long time to find in the pitch black but as I was lost, I couldn't help but admire how awesome the stars looked. After following some bird calls made by our friends, we found the cave and crawled in. People were cooking potatoes and grilling chicken in the fire and making peanut butter smores. Today I had to get up early so I could finish all my last minute errands for Rwanda before everything closed for Shabbat.I quickly did laundry, food shopping and packing and tonight were going out for my roommate Alana's birthday. Because there's only three bars/restaurants in Arad, we decided for her birthday we'd go bar hopping and have appetizers at one, dinner at another, and desert and drinks at the third. You gotta be creative in this small town! Tomorrow is my day of rest, along with the whole of Israel. Shabbat Shalom!
