Today on tjj bus 11 the kids went on a short but amazing hike to mount gilbon. The hike was hot and lead to a natural pool in its valley. during the next part of the day the kids went to a chocolate factory right after having amazing Falafel for lunch. the kids watched an amazing short film about the creation of the de Karina chocolate factory. Right after the kids went to go see how the chocolate was made by the chocolatiers. They then went into the chocolate tasting room where they were given 5 types of chocolates to try. After the kids enjoyed delicious chocolate they got to go into a room where they could make their own chocolate. The kids made wonderful chocolate and right after were given time to shop for chocolates made from the De Karine chocolatiers.

Following the chocolate factory the kids went to a lookout spot over the border of Syria. At the border the kids’ tour guide Daniel gave them a great speech about the conflict, as well as a story about a soldier in the IDF. All and all it was a great day for them and they experienced a different experience from our usual day where they saw a food side of Israeli culture.
