Just before we leave we
decide to have one last road trip, we had a few more states on our plate before
we start to pack, the bubble burst and we go back to our boring normal life.
The
destination: Mount Rushmore - you know, the mountain with the faces sculpt on it (that
nobody really knows where it is...)
So we packed a few clothes, a lot of food
(you never know how many miles you're gonna drive with nothing on the way) and
our French and Danish friends, and we hit the road to the middle of nowhere -
or by his real name: South Dakota.
Not once we heard stories from Foreign
soldiers that were deployed to the Middle East that when they had a few days
off (you don't really work when you are helping the UN forces...) they were running away from Lebanon, Egypt or Jordan to us, and they all
describe the experience the exact same way: "time traveling" - when
you cross the border from Sinai and you drive to tel Aviv it's like you're
Mickeal J fox in Back to the future 2.
Same thing happened to us when we crossed
the border from IOWA to South Dakota - you are entering twilight zone of the
far west, (more like back to the future 3). Suddenly everything you know about old cowboy villages comes alive
and all around you is like an episode of the old stupid TV show: Deadwood.
Beside the 1880 trains station (we have
old trains too...), the Billy the kid far west village (like a Hollywood movie
set), a huge palace made of corn (that one was really weirdo..), the nature
around was beautiful, all green (I thought it was a desert - but that's what I
think about all the states around I haven't been yet), cows and farms...the
commanders said it looks like the Golan heights...
then we got to Mount Rushmore - I have to
say that the guy who sculpt this was fucking crazy, but beside that it was
pretty impressive, not that I think that any of our prime minister should ever
get their face on a any mountain, ever, or any president (although I like
Shimon), maybe Aviv Geffen?...anyway...after making a fool of ourselves trying
to produce a movie for Mr. Onion (love it in English!!) we continued to our second main destination.
It was the very famous area called
"the Badlands". we drove the road that crossed the area, did a little
hike, a few viewpoint stops, it was nice but something was feeling weird...like
we have been there before...and then we realized that this place is exactly the
same as we have in our dessert (the husband knows it too well): and it's called
המכתש הגדול
. So why the hell would I drive 2 days to see
something I had all the time at home.
:And then it hit me... there are 2 options
to what's happening to us
A. we have everything the Americans have in
50 states in one small great country and there's no need to go )anywhere else....
(Hahaha, very funny, I know
B. we saw too much this year and we are
tired, brain tired, so we see stuff
around here they call this phenomenon: "home sick"
So after adding 3 more states to our map
(IOWA, NEVBRASKA, SOUTH DEKOTA), I have an announcement
We are sooooo ready to go home
I'm proud of my new title: Home sick
