new blog

Ok, so here's the deal for all those interested. B/c the group blog is for anyone to read, including people who donated money for the trip, and b/c that blog represents LPTS, I have been asked to tone down my blogging. I completely respect that request, however I want to give an accurate account of my experience here in Israel, and the way I write is exactly how I have been experiencing things. So in an effort to both respect the group blog and keep the integrity of my own posts, I decided the solution best for all parties involved is for me to get my own blog for this trip. If you're reading this, then you are most likely a friend or family member, so you know that this is me and all I represent here, good and bad, is me. :-)

All of the posts below are the ones I made on the group blog site, so no need to read down any further if you have already read them on the other site. I will hopefully be posting a new one sometime this evening to let you know about my experiences today. Thanks for reading.

P.S. Ask anyone here and you'll know that I am becoming obsessed with blogging. This is for three reasons: 1.) I like writing down my experiences after the day. It helps me relive them and set them in memory. 2.) My fellow travelers get a kick out of reading them. 3.) I want to share my experiences with my friends and find out what they're thinking. Therefore, please leave any comments...they always brighten up my day!
