A week in Israel and Jordan

My mind is filled with ques­tions as I pon­der the his­tory, cul­ture, and cur­rent events of the region. I’ve heard so many pos­i­tives and neg­a­tives, and it is with a great sense of curios­ity and excite­ment that I travel to Israel and Jor­dan next week. In par­tic­u­lar, I am anx­ious to meet some peo­ple from the tech com­mu­nity, although the tim­ing is not great since most will be busy for year-end hol­i­days and fes­tiv­i­ties. Still, I’ve been able to con­tact some thanks to the serendip­ity of Twit­ter, and hope­fully this will rein­force bridges across the Atlantic. After all, look­ing at this pic­ture of Tel Aviv, you’d think you were in Miami!
