pics. of trip to israel

you can see 5 of them if you click on my profile. keep in mind, the first five are from Israel (last 2 weeks.), the last five are still the old ones from Grecce I posted back in November 07.

anyway, the guy in the Israeli pics w/me is Matt, my current bf (who I think is a cutie pie), the beautiful lady next to me is my mom. Matt took 480 pics of this trip so I might post more later (not all of them, I promise. We visited Jerusalem (my nephew's bar-mitsva, which is the Jewish right of passage into adulthood that takes place when you turn 13), Hebron (specifically, a Jewish settlment in a mostly Palestinian town), Tel-Aviv (which is on the Medetterenian Sea), Ein Bokek (which is on the Dead Sea, the lowest point of Earth), and Eilat (on the Red Sea, which is a vacation town commonly referred to as an Israeli Riviera.) So we saw 3 seas in 3 days (which I think is kind of cool!!!! And we rode a camel named shashu!!!)

Unfortunately, time demands (a.k.a.) boyfriend's limited vacation didn't afford us the opportunity to take a few more days to visit the Northern part of the coutry (Haifa, Carmel Vineries, etc.) but, needless to say, this still has been an unfogettable experience--part family reunion/Bar-mitsva celebration, part vacation.)

Plus, being Jewish (albeigh it not religious but Jewish nonetheless), it was an incredible spiritual experience to see the land of my forefathers/foremothers.

Anyway, let me know if the pics came out on the profile. It took me a few tries but I think I finally got them there.

Love, Nat

Looks like it was a lot of fun, and sounds like it would have been very cool to be able to see where you were at.  There are so many places I'd love to visit, but that requires being cooped up in an airplane for hours untold.
