i have learned many things,

about pitching tents and health insurance and all the different things to put on your pita,
about buses and how jerusalem stone is just SOOO last 2000 years ago,
about academic values and loneliness and independence,
about airports and national holidays and extended family,
about taxi drivers and prayers and exchange rates,

about myself,

i think it is time to go home,
at least for a little while,
and look at the bay while the sunlight shines,
and then again at night,

and breathe a little bit
and learn some more.
