Welcome to Beersheva/summer camp is over

The orientation of the trip was summer camp. Most of it could have been anywhere. A bunch of Jewish young adults, treated like kids, served our meals (yay), told where to go, etc. Don't get me wrong, it was fun. Summer camp is great, especially when females outnumber males almost 3 to 1. But summer is over (not weatherwise though) and it's time to get to work.

Beersheva is not really a nice town. But it's an interesting place. It's a university town with a bunch of recent imigrants. Many of the buildings are run down but it doesn't feel unsafe, though we haven't really been wandering too much. We only passed by one area that looked like Baghdad after the bombs fell, but that was on the way to an ice cream shop, so it was worth it.
