More travels...

Sooo more news from the NY front. I just got back from Lancaster, PA and Washington, DC. Driving my car is so nice and the countryside is really pretty. In PA I visited 2 friends I actually met in Jerusalem, Sara and Anna. Some of you over there may remember them from their brief stay…

When they arrived at the Embassy (where Sara was actually volunteering post-Feast in the bookstore with me), they were just finishing up their trip to Kurdistan and other European countries. And we still marvel at the fact that even though we
have lived 3 hours apart all our lives we had to go all the way to Jeru to meet! How cool is that.

So my favorite experience was hanging out on Anna's family farm – and just marveling at large countryside, barns, homemade everything and cows. Just like Little House on the Prairie. The whole time I felt like the city kid that they were taking around - giving me the real Lancaster experience and maybe sort of embarrassed when I’d stare and take pictures of the Amish buggy's. Hahaha. This past Friday morning, we went to a buffet for breakfast – a place like this is what America is made of. Serious amounts of such good food, and by the end we were just slaphappy and overstuffed….

After this, we took out the 4-wheelers on the farm and went nuts, as much as we could. At first, I was slightly spastic because it was my first time driving one, but man alive, it was so exhilarating and insane. Here’s pics of me looking totally country and rugged…or something like that.

Oh – so in the midst of my PA stay, I also went to DC for a few days to visit some randoms there – Nick, my college friend and Dave the Rave or Gave or Have or whatever we call him. I spent a day in DC seeing all the monuments, the White House, museums AND ....HaDag Nahash...a very awesome Israeli band. How random is that. As usual - a great show of such talented musicians. We talked to the trombone player at the end for a little bit too. So fun!
