Although it's good to be back in infinite ways, there are things to be missed. One major one is the landscape. Evansville lacks a landscape, and its body of water - the Ohio River - is not overwhelmingly picturesque at this bend in the river. The Jordan Valley, however, is one of the most beautiful places in the world I think (although way too hot in the summer to fully appreciate). The sea of Galilee - the Kinneret - is low these days which is bad news. But we did enjoy spending an evening at one of the beaches (from the name of the boat I guess it's Berenike) - deserted at that hour - near Degania, where the water is so low that I swear undiscovered sites are emerging (Ohalo is very close to this). I picked up one flint, but am clueless and can't date it. Anyway, it's beautiful there before sunset, even with the garbage.
