Hello from the Beduins! (posted by Kal, Eddie and Carly)

Hello from the Beduins!
As soon as we arrived we could smell the camels. We hopped on them and took a 45 minute ride around the Negev. It was a roller coaster trying to get on them, and every time they stood up they made their camel roars! The experience was unforgettable as we rode the camels with our Israeli friends. After getting off the camels, we were given an explanation of the Beduin culture from a real Beduin. This involved some sweet tea, strong coffee, and the complex rules that go with them.We learned a lot, and afterwards were treated to an authentic Beduin dinner. Later, we slept in the Beduin tents on floor matts. We were awakened at 4 am this morning in order to climb up the mesadah before the sunrise. (Let's just say we looked pretty rough...) we got to the top just before the sun, and then we learned about the history of this beautiful palace.
