Thanks to Guy Bendov for hosting a get together with key players of the Israeli game industry. Plus a fantastic Tel Aviv sunset to boot. It was a highlight of my trip to meet local individuals from the game and tech industry. I've only had 3 short days here but have enjoyed getting to know Israeli culture and the land and do hope to make it back again soon for everything that I missed. More photos here.

Waiting for A Lift - Negev Desert, Israel
On the drive from Eilat to The Dead Sea, in the middle of the Negev (Israel's desert country) I saw this. I had to drive back and forth simply to catch it again and see what was up. He's waiting for his lift, which arrives on my third pass. Full stream of shots can be found here.

Catching a Ride in Egypt (outside of Luxor)
Note the two riders at the top of the photograph.
Talking on Phone While Driving - Outside Luxor, Egypt
I took this shot because I simply thought it was interesting. Only when he got closer did I realize he was talking on his cell phone. A odd mixture of old and new.
Colossi of Memnon, Temple of Hatshepsut and Valley of the Kings
Visited several sites on the west bank of the Nile, near Luxor including Colossi of Memnon, Temple of Hatshepsut and Valley of the Kings (where king tut and 63 other tombs have been found - so far). They think there are are likely more tombs since there were twice as many kings, but so far no more have been found. Entered 3 different tombs. No photos of inside of tombs as it's not allowed.
