Return from Israel

Well, I am back from Israel!  I’ve spent the majority of my off time trying to edit pictures down to a manageable amount.  So far, I have managed to get down to a 432 slideshow in google. I limited that further to a 38 picture book in my Kodak gallery.  I wanted to order one of their mini-books and see how that came out. 

You can find the google snapshots at:

I tried to include captions on many.

I am still exhausted.  It doesn’t help that I caught a cold on the way back.  No amount of sleep feels to be enough.  Of course, I probably ran myself ragged there.  But I didn’t feel tired while I was there.  I was always pushing my poor roommate to do more. 

Alas, no encounters with the Ethiopian community.  I tried to go to an Ethiopian restaurant in Tel Aviv, but it had closed.  We did meet with many other good folks.  The pictures show how “mixed” Israel is. 

I bought 5 CDs, 4 of which were on my “buy” list.  I bought a inexpensive tallit.  I was trying to be conservative.  Things are tight.
