It's been two months since I've left and in this time period I've gain some new experience about life, I think this is the right time to tell you all about what I've learned…

To start with the American people, they aren't as fat as I've imagined on the contrary most Americans I've encountered were fit and health seems to be a top priority to them, Also I was delight to find out that most American (Again the ones I got the chance to talk with) are strong supporters of Israel. Those who are not and did find out I'm Israeli didn't show their hatred towards me.

As you may already know I've got pulled over twice by the cops and to break the strong stigma about how tough and serious US policemen are the ones who stopped me were really nice and curious.

Riding 11,000 km you get to have a lot of me time, some times I've listen to the local radio hearing the current news and commercials I got sick of it I wanted something to remind me of home and so I've came to appreciate Israeli music Artists like Izhar Ashdot and Doctor Casper helped me to enjoy many miles, also my top favorite Israeli radio show HOTRIM LE MAGA kept me laughing inside my helmet. I want to believe I'll be listening to more Israeli music from now on.

Spending about a month with the same person from the moment you open your eyes to the second you close them isn't easy, this trip taught me an important lesson in human communication, understanding and compromise, I can honestly say me and Lior managed to survived each other in some difficult situations.

I've learned to receive it might sound strange reading this but I'm used to deepened on my own, I'm not comfortable in situation where only one side gives, staying with Jackie (Buffalo Grove Illinois), Steven (Chicago Illinois), Natali (Boston Massachusetts), Tamar (New Haven Connecticut), Saimon (Manhattan NewYork), Noam (Manhattan NewYork) and Dubi (Great Neck Long Island) showed me that there can be another way it's just better to accept and enjoy the warm hospitality all of the above had kindly given me. Thank you all.

Riding around 370km a day gives you a whole new perspective regarding distance I used to think that Be'erSheva is far now it looks like peanuts, I get the feeling I'll be missing these long roads.

This road trip couldn't be made without GPS and the internet especially Google maps, I can honestly say it saved me time after time.

There's no place like home, this whole time I couldn't stop thinking about all the people I care about back home my friends, co-workers and family. Skype, Facebook and Email sure helped but I can't imagine myself moving out of Israel to start a new beginning abroad (if the opportunity ever comes it must be a temporary thing).

That's about it, it's now 11:42 nine more hours before takeoff can't wait to touch ground.
