The Goat Pen

I'd like to see some pics if you have any to post - definitely on my bucket list - did you enjoy the trip?

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.

Good you made it home Hack. And good for you getting to make the trip. It's worth the ride over.

How'd that NIT thing work out for ya?

I hear Blue Ointment will kill nits.
