Internet, you are completely, horrendously, overdue for some Israel posts. And a complete and detailed play by play is coming soon, I swear! But in the meantime, I am going to fondly reminisce about all the people, places, and things I miss most about Israel, and am going to try to avoid posting about absolutely everything. Because truly, I miss utterly everything.
Now that I have made three separate grammatical errors, I will continue quickly with the listing before my OCD notices.
*I am 89.9% sure I stole this idea from Becca Greenberg.
1. These people. Each and every one of them. I am planning an epic quest to visit every person in this shot, whether they like it or not. Seriously some of the most amazing people I have every met, and every one is special and fabulous in their own way. I wish we didn’t all live so far away!
2. The streets & alleyways.
3. The food- some Israeli food, I should say. I think I could do without ever having raw fish for breakfast again.
In part because we were doing so much physical activity, and in part because we are bottomless pits, we developed a strategy to ward off the midday munchies and save money at the same time (we are Jews, after all). We packed sandwiches everyday from whatever was on the breakfast table and stashed them away in the bus for later.
4. The strength. Within its short history, the land and the people of Israel have faced so much hardship and yet show so much hope and strength.
5. This. Just everything about this.
6. The land. Just look at all these vistas!
7. The Vagina Palace. I love these girls so much, and I miss them more and more every day. Except for the turd. I’m stuck with her forever.
8. The history.
9. Raptoring absolutely everywhere!
10. Falling in love.
