Went to visit Israel. Before she went, it was all about how wonderful it would be. How she was going to move there when they retired.

When she came back, she was rather subdued and little by little it came out why. "It was just a desert" she said. She was dismayed it had many over crowded cities and dirty looking areas. I guess she expected everything to be lush and green with many beautiful gleaming cities.

She then stopped talking about moving there and has bought a farm in PA to retire to.
