These are photos I took on a trip to Israel in November 2002 to visit our friends
Michal and Mendi. They treated me to a royal budget tour of their historically and
culturally rich nation. I left realizing how little I know about the situation there.
Security and military presence is pervasive, but it's not really as dangerous as one
might think. Ben Gurion Airport is probably the safest place to land or take off from
due to all the measures they take.

If you ever get a chance to visit the Middle East, go for it!
