Ori is our sort of boss at the orchards - not a decision maker like Daniel, but the one that pokes us with a stick and gets us to work. He told us he had a gig going down in Quiryat Shmona, and we were more than welcome to come if we wanted to. At 4, we had packed matresses and clothes for the morning after, and were off. The plan was to sleep there, and just go to work the day after, with 5 a minute drive instead of the usual 30.
We got there, Ori dropped us off since he had things to prepare, me, Windzer, Callin, Charlie and Marcella looked around a bit - got them all to test popcorn gum, weird but enjoyable. We headed to the park, relaxed, talked, laughed, an all around great time. Callin started commenting how nice my body was again - this time, my lips. I'll probably get used to it eventually, though. Anyway, around 7 we start making our way up to where the gig's at.
They set it all up, 2 different, simple drums, 2 guitars, one acoustic, one electric, and Ori singing and playing the harmonica on some songs. He was awesome. There were several different singers, the main one a guy with braids who could also play the guitar. Started out slow and smooth, we went to eat some in the van, from the food we'd brought, and all the other volunteers were asleep within minutes. I got back, and he'd really picked up the pace, the ~70 people that were there were dancing, singing along (hebrew, I just smiled and nodded), clapping, and I joined in the fun. For more than an hour, just dancing, enjoying it all, before Ori and I got back to the van, woke the others, we set off to camp with a view of the entire town. It was beautiful. 5 hours of sleep later, we had to get to work. Not a single mosquito bite despite sleeping without anything - no nets, no salves or anything. We had a pretty nice day with that as well. All tired, but it was definitely worth it. We'll be doing it again.
The last and final installment of the massive, wordy updates will come tomorrow - Bright in Yerushalaim!
