A spectacular view to start my day

I woke up early this morning to get to the bus station so that I could buy my month pass and get to the station in Akko in time to help check the ambulance. 350 shekels later I had a pass to travel on the buses in Akko and Karmi'el. The bus ride was only about 20 minutes and I got off a stop late because I wasn't sure where all the stops were. After a brief walk back I realized I was still very early for my shift and there was a trail of some sorts across from the station. I climbed up it and had a spectator view across into Haifa and part of Akko.



After hanging out for a little bit Daniel and Emily arrived and we settled into the volunteers room. Daniel and I took the liberty of extending our sleep time. After a little bit the buzzer for an Atan sounded and Emily and I headed out to the Atan. Today we had a new team. Our call was of a man suffer from chest pain. We traveled a little bit and then met a Ragil to transfer the patient. Emily chatted with him as we took him to the hospital. After transferring him to the hospital we were on our way back to the station.

Daniel and I went out on the second call for a lady having some heart problems. We transported her to the hospital and found one of the other volunteers from our program. We hadn't seen him in a few days and it was totally random to find him at the hospital working on a Ragil from Karmi'el.

The last call of the day was to the old city of Akko. Thankfully the patient was able to walk down the stairs because they were the old, narrow stone ones which had water coating some of them. It would have been very, very slippery and dangerous to carry the patient down with the chair. After transporting her to the hospital I got back to the station to find Emily chatting with some of the youth volunteers who do the same thing we do but in the afternoon.
