Erin's OTZMA 25 experience! AND BEYOND!: Final Tiyul

I wrote this on July 1st but never finished because my next adventure started up... so I am going to post it as is. I'll finish the end of the story in my next post but am in a different place now than I was 6 months ago and I don't want to try and change what I wrote 6 months ago or modify the way I want to write it now.

So I don't have much to say about the end. It ended, it was hard, I am sad. I would rather show through pictures the people that I love and the places that we went together. The people who have become my best friends, the people who have been through everything with me and the people that I know will be a part of my life forever. For better or for worse, this year was what it was because of the people that I spent it with. My year in Israel would not have been the same without them and I can truly say that I love them.

So we started our final tiyul after a sad couple of days packing and getting ready to leave Jerusalem. We really did have the best room ever in Jerusalem and I miss my girls terribly. I have already written all about them so I won't write any more, even though words can't describe how much I love them. So we headed to Sachne, a beautiful series of natural springs near Beit Shean. No words can describe the beauty of this place, so pictures it is!
