1 year later...

It is hard to believe that 1 year has passed since I was in Israel.  This week I find myself remembering how much my first Israel experience has meant to me!   Today was Sheila's birthday and we talked about our hike in the Negev, last year on her birthday!   Both of us proud of how much we accomplished on our journey... physically, emotionally and spiritually!  It was a great ride!  

I have gone back and looked at all of the photos I took, watched the DVD slide show and re-read my journal.   Still trying to find a way to recreate this blog into a photo book.  I really want to make that happen.   I find myself missing my travel companions, especially my roomie :-).  We shared a great adventure!  I am having trouble wiping the smile off my face even when I remember the most difficult challenges.  I came back a little more confident!  I am still terribly afraid of heights but I now know what I can accomplish with the help of new friends.

Surprisingly enough James & I are preparing for our first trip to Israel, together.  We will be going to some of the places I visited last year and going to many new places!   I am excited to return and never expected to go back so soon.
