    Take a moment to view this Ted talk. 
          Today the co founder of the company spoke with us and brought the motor cycle 
    Ambulance to show us  Most inspiring organization, staffed with 2000 volunteers and 
    small paid staff!
         Earlier today, while at the school tutoring we did an emergency evaccuation drill to prepare 
    for earthquake.  We walked a few blocks away from school to a large open parking lot.   
    (Understandably you don't go to bomb shelter for earthquake disaster.  )'  Very nice 16 year old 
    boy from one of my classes lead me to and from school, so I did not get lost!
              I had a break after school and before the ambulance presentation so fior the first time
     I took the Carmelite without a Hebrew spreading person.  Bought the ticket ( the vending
     machine has an English option) and took the fennicular down the mountain to a 
    Local shopping area for an hour.
            3:30pm was my Hebrew class. I find it very challenging, so I sit next to the teacher ,
    In the hopes that proximaty will increase my comprehension!

    We ended the day with a guest speaker, lawyer who provided an overview of Israeli
     government, court system, labor party system etc.... Thankfully there was no quiz at the end.
