The only feeling better than the first day of school is the last day of school. Ashleigh and I just handed in our final exams, and are finished for the summer. We still have a few more days of adventuring left in Israel, so stay tuned for some last pictures/stories. Mazel Tov!

PS Tel Aviv made the front page of the NYTimes website this morning in a somewhat controversial way. Since I've been stung by jellyfish at least half a dozen times this summer, I knew swimming at these beaches was risky. But at least I don't have to worry about getting arrested for it: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/27/world/middleeast/27swim.html?_r=1
