I'm an Idiot....

I've done this before. I travel on one of these long summer trips, (yes.... ANOTHER Youth Hostel Ministry comparison... get over it, It was probably the most formative experience of my personal experience) and I freak out when I get off the first plane. I did that during YHM. London was such a scary place in my opinion. I felt as if I were being constantly judged or stereotyped. In addition to this, the thought "WHAT AM I DOING HERE?!?!?!" went through my mind. This happened again as I arrived in Rome for a transfer flight. However, I do have a distinct memory of stepping off the plan onto the stairs and having the sun rising and a nice breeze and just feeling the Peace of God flow over me. No other description. I proceeded to still freak. I slept some on the second plane. And we got into Israel. WOW! This place is amazing. It is such a surreal feeling to be here. We are right on the edge of the Old City, right near the Joffa gate for a reference point. We didn't go in today. But we will tomorrow. I'm excited. I will write more about everything that's going on when I get a chance.
