I think at this point the biggest thing I have left to do is load some caches for geocaching. My best friend Caleb, who is a big geocacher, sent me a bunch of sites, and is twisting my arm to do some caching while I'm over there. I love to geocache but I'm unsure what kind of opportunity I'll have to do it over there. Traipsing around well-armed territory by myself is not exactly my idea of a vacation. :-) Ok so let's suppose I only do it in Rome (since apparently there are not many caches in Israel). This would be more feasible, as I know that I'll have more free time in Rome than elsewhere. Still ... I can't help but think that if one is spending time in a city he has never been in as old as Rome, with as much to see and do ... finding a cache seems like the last way I'd like to spend my time. However (and I haven't reviewed the sites yet), if they are related to historical events or locations, it could be a cool way to go sightseeing. So I'm going to load them in. I'll have to think of some things to bring with me to swap. I'm not sure how exciting American stuff will seem to them! Too bad I don't have any opossum teeth or claws (I have a bear claw and a beaver tooth). Which makes me wonder ... whether opossums seem as exotic to Europeans as koalas, kangaroos, and Tasmanian devils seem to us. Somehow I don't think so.
