Graham came out for a visit. He's an old friend from Shell. He interned for me, and then joined Shell the month after I quit. By working on an offshore oil platform, he has a schedule which some would love while others would hate. It's known as "two weeks on, two weeks off." He basically works for two weeks straight on the platform, logging 12-16 hours a day. Then he gets two weeks off. Being a bachelor without a family, he gave me a call and asked if we would like to adopt him for one of those two weeks. I guess we could have said no.
But we didn't, and a month later Graham ventures over here on his very first international trip. Right before he left, Jana asked, "Does he know he needs a passport?"
And for his first international trip, I think he had an awesome time. It started off a little slow as it's the rainy season here, and it poured for a number of days straight. But as the sun came out, he took my car and explored Israel. And in the evenings, he and Atom played. Atom would jump up and down on the guest bed as Graham simply sat there. And that's how he became Uncle Graham.
The final two days of his trip, Graham and I ventured into the West Bank and the Dead Sea area. In the West Bank we visited Bethlehem and Hebron with a guide, and all I can say is "This place is crazy."
Anyways, here's a link to the photos of the trip to the West Bank and the Dead Sea. I've tried to caption it to provide some context to the photos.
