Home

I made it home! My trip home was long but still a bit adventurous. After leaving Jordan I visited Israel with some friends. We were in Jerusalem for 3 days and then Tel Aviv for 1. I left Tel Aviv on Wednesday early in the morning and flew to Athens. I had a ten hour layover there so I went into the city and saw a few sites. Then I flew from Tel Aviv to Munich. After a long night in the airport in Munich I caught my last flight to Chicago. Once in Chicago, I hopped on a bus to Madison where I finally met up with my family!

Here's some pictures from the adventures:
