One thing I have to say that is awesome about Israel already, is that they have free WiFi in the airport. Good job Israel, good job.

Okay, so I haven't really started yet, but I thought this journal should start where I start, and that is Acton, MA. Unfortunatly, there is no stock picture of it on this site, so that is why DC is displayed. That is okay, I feel just as connected to DC as I am to Acton.
