Well, I'm officially lame

Ah, civilization again (and asian food)
Our last night in Tel Aviv because our flight is at 5am meaning we have to get to the airport by 2 to undergo the hardcore israeli customs people! We have spent the past few days staying at our friends' place (Edan & Holly) who live right in the good ...
