Ancient Warrior Day

We awoke early in the morning to the hee-hawing of the Bedouin donkeys. It took a long time for everyone to completely wake up, but soon enough, we ate breakfast and were on our way to an Israeli supermarket to buy our own lunch. The grade was divided into six different groups, and each group had three items on a list that they were required to buy.
After shopping for lunch, we headed to an ancient Roman amphitheater at Beit Guvrin to see where gladiators would fight to the death. When we got there, we met with the legendary gladiator, Roman the Roman :-). He taught us many techniques to use if we ever travel back in time to become gladiators. After we learned how to fight, our fun-loving tour guide Elhanan taught us about the Bar Kochba revolt. It was finally time for our supermarket lunch.
After lunch, we were on our way to crawl through the Bar Kochba caves. Going through the tunnels was a challenge. We had to crawl on our stomaches though tunnels that were two feet by two feet at some times. Some parts of it required us to help each other but we all got through and had a lot of fun. It was reasuring to find out that we were going back to the hotel to take a shower after. After our relaxing showers, we walked to Ben-Yehuda Street, known as the Midrachov to Israelis meaning sidewalk street, to have a night of Israeli food and shopping. We had a awesome day.
