A Disappointing Day

Today was a disappointing day. Over Shabbat, I came down with a fever, and couldn't ride today. This sometimes happens when I get worn down, but I actually think that it was due to dehydration. I slept a lot both Friday night and Saturday during the day, and hence did not continue drinking (difficult to do when you are asleep!). One of the doctors on the trip recommended that I take a day to rest, take Tylenol and continue to hydrate. I did that today, hung out with the crew and am feeling much better after some rest and water. We are now on Kibbutz Ketura which is a kibbutz founded by a group of Young Judeans in 1973. I went on a tour of the kibbutz to see the various agricultural projects, and soon we will be touring the Arava institute which is housed on this kibbutz.
