... 8220;Hello.” He stamped my page and I was off. Finding my bag was a little challenging as they have the international baggage carousels in two different rooms, but it was very easy to find Catherine when I came out. Our first stop was at a bakery filled with fresh baguettes, tarts, quiches, croissants and more. It was just thrilling. I honestly probably could have spent the rest of the day milling about the boulengerie eating and helping out ...

... out of the corn** of my eye that she had should**-length red hair and was wearing a tight-ish white tank top.

I didn't really think anything of it, nor have a reason to really look at h** prop**ly until I realised she had really bad BO, that you would normally only smell coming from some kind of smelly man. Wond**ing what kind of woman would make such a stench, I looked ov** at h** only to find that she was a really creepy ...

... in dress even though you may not agree.

Don’t look at or smile at a merchant in Jerusalem unless your ready to dicker

Don’t be afraid to speak English, even though all you hear is Hebrew of Arabic, most everyone speaks some English.

Also don’t forget you are in Israel. Don’t have an expectation that everyone should be able to understand and speak English.

... couple bars and played "The Night they Drove Old Dixie Down" five times on the jukebox and we sang every word like it was 1865. We became the hit of the party after asking the bartender to turn it up and to put on the Yankees-Red Sox Game.
We hit the road early in the morning and knew we were going to have a good day when we read signs that said we were entering "Goochland". Next stop...Western Virginia.

... to change, pack up and head out!

We were finally on the bike and headed south towards Cary, North Carolina to visit Luba’s family at about 12pm.

The ride south was very pleasant. I really enjoy riding on small highways with really tall trees along both sides of the highway. It just seems like a much more peaceful ride. It’s so much different from the west coast riding where there a lot of open space.

... confederate flag hat, and a big black family was waiting in line behind him...

So off we went. For the next 7 hours, we rode on 4 rollercoasters (Dominator, Volcano, Stunt Double?, and Flight of Fear) and a kiddie swing type of ride. That's right. 7 hours and 5 rides. This is why the Flash Pass at 6 Flags is the greatest invention ever. The rollercoasters themselves were really, really fun and sometimes even ...

... drivers who would not give an inch to allow us to merge into the many interstates around town. Drving through West Virginia was a nightmare with the curvey mountain roads that we had to pay to ride on. They sure do need Obama's stimulus money! Charleston was very dirty; we couldn't leave fast enough.

We are home now ...

... out Colonial Williamsburg. I was unimpressed. Watching people in historical costumes alternate between texting and bad acting isn't worth $40 to me. But the buildings were nice, and it was a pleasant little town to stroll around. But at no point did I feel I had been transported back to the 18th century. There's something less than authentic about vending machines with $3 bottles of water and ads announcing "Ye Must Be Thirsty. Quencheth It You Scallywag!" I ...

... donate money to them just for the fact that they don't charge. This is quite an estate. You start off entering through a gate and already pass by a beautiful butterfly garden that also (this is where the ladies room is - very important for the ladies...) from here on you pass by a huge fountain and to your right are rolling hills. What a welcome change from the tiny little patches of green in the DC area. You're torn about continue walking ...

... very creepy!! (for anyone who reads Patricia Cornwell) For other people, it was fine. Lots of monuments and statues. We rolled down monument Avenue and then straight on through to the city of Arlington.
