A blog tracking my journeys, both physical and mental…
The return home.
This is a blog post that was written over the course of many hours. You should know, going in, that it has a happy ending. — Hakunah Matata
In the end, it’s all okay…because Hakunah Matata!
I guess it really all started three days ago…on Monday. Kate and I were in the Old City while it was raining. I was in my lime green flip flops. Remember this story? Continue reading “Honey, I’m Home (And I Had a Hard Day…)”
The final class, the final days, and packing shenanigans.
So it’s Tuesday night (or Wednesday morning, depending on how you look at it…) and I have officially completed all my exams, turned in all my papers, attended the last of my classes, and checked out of school (mentally, at least).

Hezekiah’s Tunnel with Daria and the Israel Museum.
On Monday, I finally achieved my second-time-in-Israel goal. That is, I made the trip to Hezekiah’s Tunnel. Continue reading “Explore More – That’s the Next Thing on My List”
