This is Josh Schwartz, one of the leaders on the bus and coolest guys around, though I did not know it at the time. No no, wait, I could spot from the very first second just how cool this gentleman is. Anyway, we hopped off the plane and on to a wide flat bus and headed for customs and baggage claim. This picture is taken in front of the entrance. I have to be honest, walking the land of Israel is one of my dreams. I was caught a little off guard to see that sign there, saying Welcome to Israel. I never thought I would ever see it, and upon reflection, am thankful that I did get to see it, undeserving as I am of the privilege, considering the millions of people over thousands of years who never got to stand in a Jewish land and read a sign saying "Welcome to Israel".
