And 10 days later, I'm back from Israel. I took almost 400 photos in my excellent new Nikon camera, some of which I'll post here. It was wonderful. Got to see Jerusalem (and the Old City), Tel Aviv, the Western Wall, some archaeological sites, Tzfat (founding place of Kabbalah), the Hula Valey, the River Jordan, the Golan Heights, the Dead Sea (got to swim in it!), Masada, and the Judean Desert. I'll post more details with the photos I upload. The only downside from this whole trip is that I came back with a cold and an inflamed uvula. Other than that, I'm great.
