As tacky as it sounds, riding camels in the desert was actually the coolest thing ever. It didn't feel real, riding huge-ass ugly creatures and feeling their muscles move under my butt. I had the honor of sharing the experience with my wonderful friend Mallory, who named our camel Humphrey.
We stopped at a hydroponic greenhouse farm place that produces the majority of Israel's fruit and vegetables, a major feat considering it's smack in the middle of the dessert. We tasted tomatoes, herbs, strawberries, and lemons, which provided a much-needed vitamin boost.
Tel Aviv was the next major stop, the biggest city in Israel. It's full of cute artsy shops and a a great Saturday market.
Now it's the morning of our departure, and I can't help being sad it's over. I made so many great friends and learned so much on this trip. I'm off to Prague early tomorrow morning for a whole other adventure.
