Hey, hey, welcome back to the forward podcast. I'm your host Lance Armstrong and by the way,

trick or treats on my feet, give me something good to eat. Happy Halloween.

I know. That's, uh a I sound like my kids. That's what a six-year-old does

Hey, it's been crazy we first of all thank you for all the amazing feedback on Michael Morton.

I was so proud of the way that conversation went.

I loved my hour plus with him.

His brutal honesty and transparency was just mind-blowing for me. I pretty much left there and had like a

crazy dream week for me. I'd never been to Israel. I always wanted to go. I had a group of friends that were going over for a week

that invited Anna and I to go with them, which we were fortunate enough to go along.

All I can say, mine blown.

You hear so much about the country of Israel and its people

and obviously conflict, you hear about religion.

And it was just such a neat experience to see it all up close firsthand. You know we first landed in Tel Aviv, spent the night there at this really cool boutique hotel,

and this can just serve as your little travel guide if you wanted to, but we stayed at the

Norman Hotel, which was awesome. The next day we got up and they had rented a couple helicopters and we flew up to the north of Israel.

So we flew up to Mount a deer, a really touching war monument there. Mount a deer overlooks the country of Lebanon, which is obviously at times a hostile

environment. From there we drove over to Schwat, which is a beautiful old city, which is the birthplace in the home of

Cabala, a form of Judaism, which most of you guys probably are aware of.

And then drove over to the Golan Heights, another just incredible part of the country,

drank wine and some amazing wineries in the Golan Heights. And then ended up back in Jerusalem for the night, which then led into another full day of activities

touring all the holy sites, the city of David, the Western Wall, culminating with a visit of their

Holocaust Museum, the Yad Vashem, which, you know, I've been to a lot of museums and been to a lot of things that people say will touch you.
