To Israel And Beyond

still in riverdale

so a lot has gone on since I last posted but I will countinue from where I was up to...

I of corse run up to Oz and hug him and then we all get ready for a minyan with a bimah close to the mechitza until it starts raining so go inside and push around till we finnally find some space. I just couldn't get over the fact that I come to the kotel after not having had a chance in a week of being in Israel and suddenly out of nowhere pop all my madrichim and OZ! so then goes shacharit, a very nice one too, how could it not be? its the kotel! Oz of corse commented on how my back was better becuase he only saw me stretch it twice in tefillah not twenty times. We walk back and meet up with the girls and I get a dani from the makalet the one that if u turn right at the cardo and pass the pizza stores, the last one on the right. Oz gives me a lift in his car back to beit bnei while we catch up on everything. The Bus with all the mads who just got off the airplane a few hours back gets lost in yirushalim so during that time I have tons of french toast and the beit bnei manager and oz talk about how great I am, like I paid before my stay as opposed to some other people like on MTA who ran without paying (don't take me for that, I can't guarentee I heard right, well it certainly suprised me, but not that much) so I kinda just ate there until they were done which they stopped but Oz just loves complementing people and getting them into wrestling locks and then playing with them, a bit like stev. then he also bites, kinda like ezra he claims its a bnei thing. so after eating about one and half loaves of french toast and three plates of salad and cheese I finnally feel ready to go to maale adumim. one problem, I can't get in contact with them, and then another problem I didn't really feel like leaving the nice warm beit bnei with its high speed internet(which i wish i had right now). So in the end I head off to Oz's house which is right next to his work, where I already mentioned i used my laptop and there were tons of WiFi networks. Oz then takes me to his work but I don't go in becuase he is going to a meeting anyway. I am in rechavia so I am suppose to take certain number buses to alon shvut but i forget which is which and i see a bus pass by and he says no he is going to tzomet hagush, and i figure hey how far can that be even though oz just told me that I should wait for a bus to alon shvut becuase it was easier.

and again my father wants an email check, so i will be back
