Good bye Israel

We're in the Tel Aviv airport awaiting or Alitalia flight to Rome. It is hard to believe that our 3 weeks and 2 days in Israel have come to a close. We look forward to continuing our trip in Rome. Jon and Ryan have swapped their Holy Land guide books for Italy/Rome guide books. Fr. Dan and I are experiencing a little stomach discomfort, but the rest of us are healthy and ready to go in Rome. I for one look forward to the best food on earth - Italian. And shortly for dinner even.

But at this point, the reality is setting in: we're going to be home in a few days. This is sad in that we are just becoming acclimated and know our way around. Now it is time to leave. In many ways, it's like making a friend that you must soon part with.

But it is a sweet sorrow. No one can be disappointed with Rome ahead on the itinerary.
