Israel bound in 5 days!

the whole reason i started this blog is to report home to the inquiring minds of how my 10 day trip to israel is going. whether or not i actually take the time to do it each evening we shall see. if not while there, i will blog about it after i come back with the highlights from the trip.

suitcase, ticket, passport

i spent the majority of the day today out and about trying to find the things i think i need, but could most likely do without. this is only a 10 day trip. 2 of which will be spent traveling. but to someone who has never traveled farther than california and haiti, it is quite a distance to cross.

although it is not a long trip, i believe it will have a significant impact on the rest of my life and my faith.

experiencing the places that the story of God center on. tangible. that's what it will become. and i like tangible.

i'm also very excited about being an adventurous eater on this trip. a few years ago, this would not have been so. when i went to haiti, i hardly ate anything. now i am up to try many more things. im most excited that the first falafel i will ever eat will be in israel and i can then say to people, 'man this falafel isn't nearly as good as the falafel i had in israel.' but i apparently dont have that many opportunities to eat falafel since i never have before. but if ever i can again, i'm sure it wont be as delicious as in israel.

if you have any travel suggestions, or have been to israel and have delicious food suggestions, please feel free to comment and share.
