For those of you who don’t know yet, I should probably officially tell you that I am home safe and sound, back in Pasadena, and trying to get back in the swing of things. It’s gonna take me a little while, considering everyone I know is packing up and moving out, or is already gone, so I have no clear idea of what “the swing of things” really is anymore. Nonetheless, I more than survived the journey and surprisingly miss the Middle East more than I thought I would. Thanks for following my updates. Hopefully, I will post some more thoughts after the fact, as I process my experience more in the weeks to come. For now, here are a couple of my fave pics from my travels last week:

the beautiful ruins at Baalbek

Mt. Nebo - where Moses saw the Promised Land
