Cats

Such a cute kitten. I loved him so much. My first room mate found him and wanted to adopt him but we couldnt so we gave him away.






Okay so many of you might not know this small trivial fact but if you ever come to Israel it will probably be helpful to know. Israel is filled with cats. You know how America has squirrels? Yeah, well, Israel has cats. LOTS of cats.
They range from all over.
Here are some cats from The Lowest Point on Earth: The Dead Sea.
This here is a little buddy of mine. he delayed me from entering the Dead Sea Shop. He was just so interesting to watch and photography. He was playing with the plants. So cute.
When I left the store I was surprised to see his buddy there. I took a series of pictures with both of them. They seemed to be pretty tired so I just let them be for and went back to my group(I was on an OSP Trip. The annual South Trip. Happens every semester.).

(The gray one)







This cute guy is a Ramat Aviv Resident. He showed up across the street from Mega which is a supermarket. This is the same photo I used for my poem called The Cat and The Butterfly. He looks like one of the Tel Aviv University cats.




These are just 2 of the Tel Aviv University cats.( Starting with black cat next to the silver pole)





And these cuties are from Jerusalem. Dont worry the one curled in a ball is only sleeping. Such a cute kitten.






Last but not least for cat photos. Me in Jerusalem with a Stray Cat who was very friendly and just sat on me.




ahh sorry how this turned out. Im not too sure on how to do the photos. Ill keep practicing to make it better.

My First Post

Hey everyone!

My name is Rebecca but everyone calls me Becky. :) This is my first blog ever so sorry if its a little rough around the edges at first. Ill get the hang of it. Well I guess I'll start off with a little about myself first.

My name is Rebecca.

I am from the United States. From Long Island, New York to be more precise.

I am currently 19. I was born on June 6. I am Gemini ;)

I have a younger brother named Robert who is 18 and just left for the Marines.

My best friend in the whole wide world is Bonnie. She is like my sister. Blood couldn't make us anymore closer then we already are. I never would have gotten anywhere with out her.

My mom's name is Judy. She is a very strong woman. I admire her strength and resilience. I don't know how I'd act if my first born and only daughter said "Hey Mom, Im gonna go live in Israel."

I have the most amazing boyfriend ever. He is such a great person. I love him a lot. His name is David. He is one of the most important people in my life.

My favorite color is purple and my favorite animal is the giraffe. I love the band The 69 Eyes.

Right now I am studying at Tel Aviv University. I am in their Over Seas Program as a year student. I have been in Israel since July 28,2009. Almost a year. It is March 23, 2010. Just a few more months. (I will write about it later.) But what makes this blog different from all the other blogs is, is that I joined the Israeli Army. It is known as Israel Defense Forces or in its abbreviation of IDF. I have no family here at all making my a Chayal Boded. A Chayal Boded is a "Lone Soldier". Lone Soldiers have no immediate family(as previously mentioned above) in Israel and are living by themselves with no support from parents or siblings. I have my boyfriend and friends. And of course I have music, books, photography, and my wonderful stuffed giraffe Renee that I made at Build A Bear ;)

I will post more later considering its almost 1am here and I have class at 745am.

Here is a photo of me from one of my school trips up North. We were on a hike. I think this trail was called Little Switzerland. To be honest I dont really remember. It was up near Haifa and Carmel.

My Title picture is of me at the Bahai Gardens in Haifa.

I will share with you my photography, poems, adventures, thoughts, and stories.

Lilah Tov everyone. :)
