We have just seperated from our first travelling companions, Nar and David from Israel. There isn't much that I can say about them that will offer any justice, but I will try. Nar fended monkeys with sticks (I apparently can deal with them, either - albeit  true story, they threw rocks at us), David educated me on the Palestinean-Israeli conflict (he works for an NGO assisting Palestineans in the Gaza/WestBank areas....) and both guided us on an amazing path of spiritual interpretation.

They asked us if we were lost (when we thought it was apparent that we werent) and their stopping literally interrupted our discussing that we wanted our first interaction with others to be one of both spiritual and sociological importance - and there they were.
3 days, two hikes, one monkey attack and a beautiful bike ride through the country later we seperated. I have stayed awake every night since meeting them; they have given me more food for thought than any other experience in my life. Live in love. Beethoven's 9th beats out the rest. Serve each other. Something created this.

 It is all the same, it is all here.

Until we meet again in Israel - thank you.
