My visit to Israel, August 2001


From August 13 until August 30, 2001 I returned to Israel to visit some special friends who I met during my summer in Israel the previous year. I stayed with my friend Tal Slater at her apartment in Tel Aviv. It was a wonderful trip, though it was very short. Like my taxi driver said to me on the way to the airport, "Dvarim tovim nigmarim maher" (good things end quickly).

On the way from Vancouver to Tel Aviv I had a crazy 9 hour stopover in London. There are a few pictures here from my little whirlwind tour.
