Friday afternoon

I'm back...

So Thursday Mom and I checked out early from the hotel so that we could go by Caeserea. It was lovely, it's on the Sea and we were sad that we didn't get to spend much time there. We had an interesting journey back through Tel Aviv to the airport where we handed in our rental car and then waited together for four hours.

Then I had to check in and go through security for my flight, and Mom had to wait for four (ish) more hours before she was allowed to check in. Thank goodness on the way home I had absolutely no trouble with security, since I had so much trouble on the way in I guess it was well deserved to make it smooth on the way out.

I flew into Germany and was sad to discover everything closed and me with no way to get out. I have no proof that I've ever been to Germany, and really I wasn't there since I was only in the airport and didn't even get to have a lager. Sadness! I spent a very uncomfortable night in a dark corner on the floor trying to get sleep because I knew that in the morning I had another 9.5 hour flight. I slept on and off until 6am and then went to check in and find my flight.

On the long trip back I was smack dab in the middle of two couples, one on either side, and both with a complete lack of concern for staying out of my space. I was very cranky indeed about that and only managed to get out once. Sigh...then I came through customs very easily and saw Brett! It was so good to see his face after a month and we talked the whole way back to Fishers, where we are staying with my sister this weekend.

I've come home with no home and no job and no school and am feeling a bit lost. My school has been my world for as long as I can remember and now I'm done (oh not forever, just for this year).

I want to say what a blessing this trip was. I'm so glad you've walked along-side with me through it. We are truly blessed here in this country and we are truly rich. It's easy to take it for granted if you never see anything else.

I've been so glad for your company on my trip , even though it was vicarious. I love you all. If you would like to see my pictures you will need to email me at pishposh_1979@yahoo.com or shannonnewspangler@gmail.com because I can't put the link here.

Thanks for reading! Much love....
