The things I did in the last 24 hours for the first time (and for some quite possibly the last):
Wake up at 3:00AM sober
Hike up a mountain
Watch the sunrise
Hike up a stream
Float in the Dead Sea
Attend a Bedouin wedding
Eat a recently slaughtered lamb
We slept in the Bedouin tents after all this. Some of us couldn't sleep, others floated away into their dreams as soon as their head hit their pillow. I just lied there for a little with my eyes open and my iPod playing. I had to think about everything I had just done. It was possibly one of the most overwhelming days of my life. And I say that in the most positive terms. It was an infinite day. One that seemed like it would never end, one that I didn't want to end.
Eventually I pinched myself back to reality and went to sleep.
