The Last Post

My three months in Israel are up. I fly out of Tel Aviv this evening.

I think it's been a pretty good trip, by both the Graham Metric ("Will this make a good story?") and the Jealously Index. I've had some adventures, I've lost some weight, and I've got a sweet farmer's tan.

Obviously, my lady troubles are over.


Best parts:

Herding goats
Petra
Picking up garbage in Gehenna
Hiking in Galilee


Worst parts:

Trying to get around on the Sabbath
Trying to get around in Jordan
Bum leg


And since this turned out to be a photoblog, here are a few amusing things I saw in Israel:


They also have a great deal on indulgences.


I hear the Care Bears are big in Paris this season.


Yes, that's a South Park kippa.


Location, location, location.


I think that's a hippo in a onsie next to her machine gun.


So that's it. I'll be home in 30 hours. I'm not sure what I'm doing in the new year (any thoughts?) but I intend to be out of town again for January through April. So be sure that you seek me while I may be found.

Peace.
