Finally, some updates. I went to Israel with my sister and her family in late July/early August. It was the most lovely trip. We stayed in the city of Ashkelon and traveled all over by car everday. I got my feet wet with driving in a foreign country when I was in Iraq and I was completely confident that I could drive the Israeli roads….but I must say.. never have I seen such crazy drivers in my life! I think i said the word CRAZY about every 3 seconds as I drove around. My favorite moment was driving the highway into the old city of Jerusalem… and just realizing that I was “driving into Jerusalem”.  My oldest sister, Jennifer, use to live in Israel as an archelogist and had many excavations she dug on. One of her favorites was in Megiddo ( also known as Armageddon). It was so cool to see the sites that she dug up and she has a history lesson to teach me at each one. I can’t wait to go back again … one of these days. It was definitely one of my favorite places in the entire world.
