Just a quick note to let everyone know that we've arrived home. After getting stuck in Salt Lake City for a day--where we couldn't get a flight to Medford--we rerouted to Reno, rented a car and drove the rest of the way.
Thank you all for joining us on our journey through the Middle East. I hope that this blog and the photos were able to provide you with a sense of place and events. Of course, now that we're back, I'm realizing that there's a lot that I've left out; like the night in Nablus when we awoke to the sound of tank engines and gunfire at the south end of the city. Perhaps that didn't seem relevant at the time because we'd been there for several nights and there had been gunfire every night.
