Re: Tennessee Volunteers
Yeah, I enjoyed it. Most of it was work, but we had some time in the evenings to walk around Tel Aviv and find some cool places to eat and buy souvenirs. Did Jerusalem, Bethlehem and the Dead Sea area on our 2 days off. Very interesting. I feel lucky to have had the chance to go (especially with someone else paying for it). I've been working almost non-stop since I got back, but I'll have a few days off coming up, so I'll find a few pics to post.
Deep thought of the day: "I was adopted. I thank my birth mother every day for not aborting me (although I wouldn't doubt her decision if she did)."

Re: Tennessee Volunteers
Good you made it home Hack. And good for you getting to make the trip. It's worth the ride over.
Worth. Every. Cent.
