I drove nearly 2,000 miles while in Israel and had the opportunity to see a great deal of the land's variety. From wooded forests to saline lakes to stony, mineral rich deserts and waterfall oases, Israel spans a vast range of Eco systems, occupies an inordinate amount of history, gives color to an amazing part of our imagination, and makes religion tangible for many.
So it's only fitting that Israel's freeways display an equally random offering: tomato and banana plantations, historical markers for places like "Lot's Wife (the Biblical pillar of salt), an entire stretch of freeway with sculptures made of old tanks and dedicated to the anti-war//make love not war sentiment. Bedouin settlements, (oxy-moronically) Camel ranches, military vehicles and fully-loaded helicopters. And, my favorite place, a Crocodile farm:


It seems to me that any place can be just about anything anyone can imagine it to be.
