Thursday was quite an exciting day for the Diller group. After a day of shopping in the Waterfront, the Israelis headed over to Riverview Towers, a home which provides a comfortable living environment for the elderly, to set up for the Seder. We planned the Seder to give the Israelis contact with the outside community as well as to share our culture and traditions with the people of the Towers. Later, after our respective schools let out, the Pittsburghers joined the Israelis at the Towers for the Seder. We sat amongst the residents and held our own Seder with songs, prayers, and a meal with matzo ball soup as the headliner. After the meal, we boarded the bus to head to Washington for the next day. The bus rides in the following days were probably some of the most fun parts of our trip because of the extreme bonding that comes from just sitting and talking for hours on end. When we got to our Washington hotel, it was quite late and we headed up to our respective rooms and, with the exception of a few who stayed up to talk, most of us crashed.
