End of the Earth, turn left

I have just spent two days in Nitzana, near the Egyptian border, midway between Gaza and Eilat. Not near much of anything, and there was no internet cafe. We are due in Jerusalem this evening, and I will have more to say then.

Lots of aircraft overhead, beautiful weather, mountain biking past groves of trees watered with the brackish byproduct of the desalination plants, and the Nabatean ruins.

Dinner at a Bedouin tent last night, delicious.
