You greasy bastards.
In the middle of a long business trip, on a mission and a professional sojurn in the Holy Land. I've been from north to south-and since I would rather spend what little time I have watching girls and drinking beer, something has to give. Sorry.
Israel is a fascinating nation. It reminds me of some ways of Japan-as a citizenry of insiders, who have been let in on some secret-that we foreigners only wish we could know.
That said-when I think of the "land of milk and honey" a place where the hills rise sharply and there are rock out croppings all over the place-does not come to mind. This is actually a tough land-but the people cling to it.
Pictures to follow.
