Munich! (Written at the airport)

Landed in Munich. Successfully turned all the shekels I had on me into 20 Euro. If only our economy was this resilient.

Ben Gurion was no problem at all. My bag wasn't even looked through. I name-dropped Mike Powell during the "do you know anyone in Israel" portion of the Q&A session, and that seemed to be the golden ticket. Make a note of it.

Having trouble not salaam alekuming people here. And replacing 'shukran' with 'danke.' Upshot.. most of these people's english is better than mine.

Managed to acquire toiletries, and a seat at the Erdinger bar in the center of the terminal. Currently drinking a pint of their dunkel, and realizing that they have better beer in their airport than Israel had in most of their bars. Yes, oh, yes, this is going to be a great trip.
