Weekend Hiatus

The Israeli work week is Sunday-Thursday because of Shabbat. We worked an American work week, Monday-Friday, which made weekend travel a little more hectic. Not everywhere in Israel completely shuts down for Shabbat, but the public transportation systems start to close down Friday afternoon. It was always a rush to get back to Kfar Galim and catch the last bus or train. If all else fails, taxi cabs are an option; expensive, but still doable (Israel isn't really that big afterall). During my time I did 3 weekend trips on my own: 2 to Tel Aviv and 1 to Jerusalem.
