Thursday was our last day in Tel Aviv and the day when we had to go home. Most of us met up at the school at the usual time and stored our suitcases in the editing room so we could explore Tel Aviv one last time before we headed to the airport. We started our day with getting coffee and a little breakfast at our favorite coffee shop. We just sat there and enjoyed our breakfast and the beautiful weather for a while. After that all of us went to this place called "Sarona" which offers a lot of places where you can get food. Some of us went to "Anita" which is a place where you can get ice cream and frozen yoghurt, others bought candy or just hung out until we met up again. While we were in there it started storming and raining so hard, it was unusual for us to see because we don't get these kind of storms in Germany very often. At noon, we met up at the school with the Israeli students from the project to say goodbye and hug everyone before we took a bus to the airport at 12:30. Because of the storm we didn't leave until 5 pm and we were supposed to leave at 3:55 pm. Our first flight was from Tel Aviv, Israel to Zurich, Switzerland. In Zurich we had to get on another flight to Cologne, Because of the delay we almost missed our second flight but because we were that big of a group, they decided to wait for us so we got on the plane 40 minutes later but we finally arrived in Cologne at 10 pm. We all left Israel with so many great memories and an amazing time to look back on. I think I'm speaking for each and everyone that participated in the project when I say that we all had an amazing time in Tel Aviv. We made so many memories and we grew together so much, that we became one big family. So we want to thank everyone who helped us make all of this possible. Thank you to all of the parents that agreed on hosting someone from a different country, that supported us and that were there to help us with the whole situation. Thank you to all of the teachers that supported us and helped us find our way around Tel Aviv and worked with us on the project. Thank you to our school, that we got so many days off to spend time in Israel and for the huge amount of support that they showed us. Thank you to all of the Israeli students, that made our time there absolutely amazing and definitely one to remember.
