Globalization is great

Today, I met a Palestinian presidential appointee who got his MBA from my current school and whose son is considering getting a communications degree from my undergraduate school.

I bought earrings designed by a Yemeni from an Irishwoman named Claire who owns a jewelry boutique in Jerusalem. I also quietly negotiated a great price with her for this fabulous Roman glass ring - never thought I'd own a piece of excavated history! She made me promise not to tell my travel companions about the bargain.

And I took a ride with a local taxi driver whose nephew is rated as one of the top DJs in Miami.

So sad to leave Israel already, but Nashville beckons!
