Letters from Israel

Landed, but differently. I am used to seeing the beaches and buildings of Tel Aviv when we finally see land after the long flight. This time was different. Now the land below us was in the area of Haifa, further north.  We then banked right, and headed into Ben Gurion airport.  For obvious reasons. 
We applauded when we touched down. 
It feels the same, but different.  I think there will be more of that to come.
