This week was Israel's 61st Indendence Day (Proceeded by Holocaust Remembrance Day and Memorial Day).  Generally, Israeli holidays start on the eve of the day and go until the sun goes down the next day, so the party started right after a day of mourning.  Most Israelis know someone who has given their life in military service and paid the ultimate sacrifice, so Memorial day is quite solumn, but as soon as the sun goes down... it is a different story.
For Independence Eve, some friends and I hit the town until about 3 in the morning... it was lots of fun.  The next day, I went to a barbeque with the masters students from my school... It was a great holiday.
