Masters Update - July 17, 2013

Most of the team is now in Israel with just a couple of more guys due to arrive in the next day or so.  It wasn't too bad of a flight except for the 3+ hour delay at Newark, which for many of us was a connection since we were coming from different parts of the U.S.  Since the delay got us into Israel much later than planned, we will be working off of just a few hours of sleep before our practice tomorrow morning.  It was very cool to arrive at Ben Gurion Airport with all of the Maccabiah signage up and volunteers helping out with logistics as well as seeing other national teams milling about getting ready to embark on their own experiences.  With it being dark since my arrival, I am looking forward to tomorrow and seeing Jerusalem in the daylight.  Good night for now, and thanks for checking in!
