fine

This is just to report that I am not in Sinai, and Israel is beautiful, except for when it is rainy and cold, like it was today. I cannot begin to describe what I am seeing here and how I feel about all of it. Israel seems to be some sort of culmination of everything I've seen, learned and talked about over the past year. But aside from all of those realizations over the past few days, I am not feeling particularly chipper. Tomorrow is the National Day of Mourning for the Holocaust and with the mess in Dahab, a place I know fairly well, everything right now has a little "humanity sucks" cloud hanging over it. I took the bus here and passed through Dahab on the way, but I will be bypassing Sinai completely and flying directly to Cairo later in the week. On that note, I leave you to your peace and hope all is well.
