Remember how I surprised you all and actually made a friend while volunteering at Kushi's animal bazaar? Well, it paid off! (besides the whole emotional benefit thing.) Ella and her mom took a mini-vacation in Eilat and brought me back to Jerusalem with them afterwards. It's unbelievable that this is the first time I've really gotten out of Eilat, but wow I needed this. On the way up, we stopped by the Dead Sea and I felt the skin-silkening and body-bobbing effects of its uber-saline water…
