Ein Hod: The Artist Village Puelah

So every week we have different puelahs(activities) run by Ale(my madricha or counselor) and usually they are boring...but this time she decided to actually make it fun. We went a small hike to the village of Ein Hod, which is only like a 30 minute walk. Ein Hod is an artists village, so it is very artsy and everything is decorated. It is a very small town..there are only about 200 families living there. We usually go there if we get bored just to walk around and hang out there. But anyways, we went to a few art gallerys when we first arrived. Some of the art there is amazing! After looking at all the art, we took another small hike and went to a place to pick olives off olive trees.
I'm not really sure why, who, or where those olives we picked went but whatever. I thought it was a random thing to do, but it was a fun surprise I guess. Afterwards, we walked some more and went to someones house and made a bonfire. We all made fresh pita and it was delicious! We all made a spread that had olive oil, salt, and sesame seeds mixed together...it was so good, especially after we put it on the pita! Then we decided to make more pita and to put chocolate spread on that piece. It was so filling, so none of us ate dinner that night. It was a fun adventure because everything was just one surprise after another..which made it a lot funner since none of us were expecting to do anything exciting.
