Hey!
In case you want to follow my trip to Israel, I have set up a blog. I am a day behind and having technical difficulties with photos but you can check it out at: www.offexploring.com. Search for traveller name in drop down box "chaimgold". You can comment on my travels, leave messages or just break my stones. I tried to be entertaining at times.

Went to Summerfest today. They do bill themselves as the worlds largest music festival. Take a look at the various line ups. Lots of music per day.

Where are you? Only one blog? You are lazy.
Be prepared. Trust no one. Expect no help.

Hey dude,
Glad the trip is off to a good start. I read your first blog post and was looking forward to more but, I guess you gave up on it. I called and left you a message. Nicole has a strange schedule next week (alot of day trips) which makes it hard for her to schedule other things (like meeting up with anyone) but, she has a class day on Wednesday the 13th. She could hook up with you in the afternoon, show you around her campus and maybe just grab something in a local cafe with you.
In addition, she is in Tel Aviv today (Saturday) and is planning on going to some big mall (I guess it's popular) and then have dinner with my Aunt Sally (who she stayed with for the night.). I bet she wouldn't mind hooking up with you today and maybe you could join all of them for dinner. She needs to be back @ her campus by 10:30pm She's looking forward to hearing from you. Her Israeli cell phone # is (516) 203-4501 or 011 972 50 246 5446. I've already warned her to expect a great big hug and kiss from you for me.
Speak to you soon.

I really love your blog! I'm enjoying reading it more than you know! Perhaps you should quit your day job and start travel blogging as a career? How much longer do you have there?

Wow! i just read d your entire blog! You seem to have had an amazing trip and I am so happy for you You saw a lot of great places You are right- there is so much more to see and experience but you did a lot it seems that you experiences a nice "cross section" and got a feel for the country - the people the places the history etc I always am in wonder when I think of the people in the bible walked the same places we visit today Talk about history!! Did you get a chance to see the movie near the western wall ? . I think it is called the excavations near the southern wall or something like that.. Your friend is an am amazing friend to show you all the wonderful places around the country. By the way, when i went to Yad mordecai with my kids and Israeli cousin< the kibutz in the south , we were the only visitors also I am very happy that the trip was wonderful!

Great stuff Ira! Not enough pictures of you though. I would have liked one of you giving the finger while holding a sign saying "eat your heart out Andrew Salkin".

Sounds like the trip was really awesome in so many ways. Glad you enjoyed it as much as you had hoped. the blog was great. Really enjoyed reading all of the entries. When Sydney went on her trip in February they did a blog, but it was by the group so not quite the introspective model.
you have pushed me to find time to make the trip there. Always been on my list, but it is time to go.
Looking forward to catching up shortly.
