I finally left the Paris airport and I couldn't come any sooner. I can't decide if it was because I was so tired or if the Paris airport is the closest place to Hell on earth.
Our flight took us over the Swiss alps and through the Mediterrianian.
Jammed into a little window seat I was in the middle of colliding cultures. I am a fairly young, white, American man sitting next to an elderly man from the middle east, on a plane owned by Air France watching a movie with LL Cool J and Queen Latifa in French. It was a twilight zone episode.
As we approached Israel the lights of Tel Aviv were symbolically clouded by little black clouds. As if to say, this is an oasis but with scars.
I look forward to this experience...
