Sunday February 14th--Valentines Day!

Woke up this morning sooooo excited-- couldnt wait to hear from Drew to see if he got the cupcakes I sent him for Valentines day, but he was sleeping when I woke up so I had to wait anxiously all dayyy!!!

Last weeek of Ulpan woooooo!!! It was long and boring as usual. Had a test today on grammer blahhhhhh

After Ulpan- Sam and I decided to go the gym. It was suchhh a nice day out-- the sun was shining and it must of been in the 70's. When we got to the gym we realized we wanted to do something outside, go for a run/walk. SO we locked our stuff up at the gym and got directions to walk to the Kotel. It was a really easy walk, took about 45 minutes and it was absolutly gorgeous outside so we deciced to keep walking. We walked around the Kotel area, the Ben yehuda area. Then I wanted to go to Emek Rafaiem which is the German quarter where alll the really nice restaurants are-- we went to the Italian restuarant there our first week. I've only been there at night and I was anxious to see what it was like during the day, so we got directions and walked there. It was a really long walk but so worth it. the area was soooo nice, we walked around there, got ice cream, hung out there--- so nice!!! Then walked back. When we got to the Kotel area we were SOOO tired, it had been about 3 hours since we had been walking so we took a cab back. We were soooooo wiped!! When we got back to the gym to get our stuff, the people there could not beleive how far we walked-- they said it was about 9 miles!!! Couldnt believe it. We had such a fun day, saw sooo much!!

Went back, showered, and sam, Lauren, Hailey and I (crew from this weekend) decided to go out to dinner and do something for valentines day because we were all sad. So we decided to go to Ben yehuda street. We ate dinner at this reallly good Vegan salad bar. Normally I dont like that kind of stuff but it was SOOO goood. It was a cold and a hot salad bar with all these salads and vegtables and good bread! SO delicious. Then we walked around Ben Yehuda street, went shopping in some Jewelery stores and got ice cream at this reallly good place. You big out fruits and things you want in your ice cream and they crush it up and it goes through this machine and it makes ice cream out of your stuff. I put rasberries and chocolate in mine, it was soooo goood!! We sat on Ben Yehuda street for a really long time and talked and watched people, we had a really fun chilll night. Definitly one of my favorite nights since we've been here. It was a good night!!
