Got up at 4 to work, cleaning leaves off the apples before they're sorted into boxes. Everyone had a half day, ending about noon, but so did I, which means I worked full time, unlike the other swedes that started at 9. So work work work, then watched Game of Thrones in the common room, lots of fans of the series here apparently. Then lying out in the sun, playing chess, half falling asleep. Next came Independence Night.
The kids were cheering - had an organized number and everything, in a ring of candles. There were songs, poems, and then...
Fireworks. Loads of fireworks, it was spectacular.
The dining hall, it's about as big as it looks, and decked out for the celebration.
Luan and his partner whenever Rain isn't nearby - bread. What'd Israel be without bread?
After the dinner, there was singing and dancing on the tables, for what seemed like ages. Everyone were in a really good mood, laughing and cheering all the time. So yeah, despite the awful morning, it was a pretty damn good day. And I have tomorrow off. :D Now, off to the pub with the rest of the volunteers!
Mazal tov!!
