From Tel Aviv- Up North WIE 2014! Cohort 17

Today we woke up early to check out of our hotel in Bat Yam. We drove to the Children's Museum in Holon, where we participated in an exhibit called Invitation to Silence. 


In Invitation to Silence, we wore headphones to eliminate our sense of hearing, simulating deafness. A deaf guide led us through a series of challenges, and we had to communicate without using speech or hearing. After we made it through the challenges, our guide answered questions about living with deafness.



After leaving the museum, we drove north to the Upper Galilee. On the bus we played games and tasted "shoko" (chocolate milk from a bag!)
Our host families welcomed us after we arrived, and we enjoyed an opening ceremony, highlighting exciting plans for the week ahead. Finally, we dispersed to our host families.
