Final Post

This is my final day in Israel. I thought a quick goodbye to everyone was in order. To all of those who have read this blog and commented, hopefully enjoying all or parts, thank you for reading. I will miss this country and region terribly as I have to come to feel rather at home here. But life moves on as do I. Hopefully, with my studies beginning (again!) at the University of Wisconsin in political science, I will be able to come and visit occasionally. To all of my friends here, thank you for all the good times. To my friends and family at home, I have missed you and look forward to seeing you all again very soon. I suggest for those who have not visited Israel to come and visit for yourself. It is far different than what you might think and it is one of the most interesting places I have had the pleasure to live. For those who are interested in this place, have visited or live here, continue to support the search for peace and do not give up on it. A peaceful Middle East and Israel-Palestine would be the greatest gift to future generations growing up here or anyone that is a part of the three great monotheistic religions. (Sorry, I had to throw that plug in there.) Thanks again.
