Our day started off in at the Bedouin Museum, where we learned more about the Bedouin culture. To be honest it was pretty much redundant, yet we did go in more depth about their beliefs and the way they live. The part I found interesting was the way their boys and girls, meet and how they interact before they get married. What he mainly talked about was how if a boy goes to the well, where the girl would be, he can ask her for water. If she gives it to him, that means she somewhat accepts his intentions, but she does have the right to completely ignore him by refusing him water.
Such things as what color a woman was wearing established what her social status was. If she wore red she was married, blue she's single and green meant she was either divorced or just elderly.
After that we went to the place where David Ben-Gurion lived. He was the first Prime Minister, and part of the labor party, as well as a leader of the defense unit.
We didn't do too much else besides visit Abraham's well, supposedly it was a well that Abraham had actually dug out himself.
Over all we really didn't do too much today, but it was still pretty interesting nonetheless.
