OK so the Internet was not so good most of the ten days...and I was also SOOOOO busy every second of the day that my little blog project was not kept very up to date. I will go back in time over the next few days and fill in everything...or as much as I can without getting too wordy.
I am now in Tel Aviv staying with my parents' long time friend Hadas and her family. They are going to let me sleep in and still show me around a bit more.
I guess I will attempt to summarize the trip and then work out the details later. The past 10 days has been nothing like I expected. I guess I was thinking it would be a nice tour of a pretty cool place and that I might have some kind of "ah ha" moment or something, but it was so much more. I feel connected to Israel, the people I traveled with, and the Israelis who joined our group. The connection is so deep and like nothing I could have imagined. I don't know if it is because we were all run ragged and having these emotional experiences or if the group of people were truly so unique that we could come together and really feel like a family. The guide told us on the first day that we were a family for these 10 days, but I think many people are going to stay connected for a very long time.
I think that is all I can do for now. I still need to sleep and process everything to figure out how I can possibly describe this experience.
