BTW I'm starting my blog at the most recent day and going backwards.
We decided to stay another day in Israel to speak at the Technion (names probably wrong) in Hyfa. The Technion is the MIT of Israel and I was scared to death to speak in front of the geekiest of them. We were invited to speak to the LUG, linux user group there about computer hardware. The talk useually lasted 20-30 minutes, they were used to 2 hours. We got there an hour or so late, we stoped at a really good restaurant. They said not that many people left, but there weren't many in there.
The talk went pretty well, they were nice and friendly. One of them was from Florida and was there for her PHD. There were only 9 or 10 of them there so it wasn't bad, but the photos didn't work on.
Afterwards we went back to Tel-Aviv to take the train to the airport and then began our flights. It took us only one day to fly back home, but only because we crossed multiple timezones.
Overall i really liked the trip, it was amazing to see Rome, Israel, the tomb were Christ may have been burried, and various other things. One thing I found really amazing was the vast number of cats. They were all over the place, so I took photos of all of the ones I could, I'd start posting them but i have to get back to homework, and its not working for some reason.
