The End

I am sitting in my Tel Aviv apartment, bags packed and room cleaned.  I leave tomorrow morning at 4am for the airport for my flight back to The States.  It will be my first time in the US in over 9 weeks, and after a short train ride from NY to DC, my first time home in eight months. Whew!

The program ended just as quickly as it began.  We had a big group discussion with Ohad at the end of the last day and someone asked if Gaga is something that can be practiced alone.  Ohad's response was that yes, it could be, and actually should be because the discoveries that Gaga initiates in a dancer should keep occurring much after the finish of the class.  That resonated with me because I think that as I take my new found knowledge of my body into ballet and modern classes, I will realize that my discoveries have just begun.  This is an exciting prospect!

I have spent my last two days in Tel Aviv by the beach with pals at my side.  They have left one by one, leaving only Ingrid and myself behind.  She will leave tomorrow afternoon, saying her goodbyes to our teeny loft bed and itty balcony just a few hours after me.

There isn't much meat to this post, but I have to say that I have had an amazing time on this adventure filled trip.  Thanks for coming with me via the wonders of the internet!
