Ok ok this post is based only on my experiences and thoughts.  Earlier I had posted my thoughts about Adi when we had dinner and drinks with her.   Now is my time with Lital.  I had the honor of seeing her 3 times.  Each time was outstanding and alot of fun.  The first time was our first day there.  (this was the only one I taped).  She met us at Mike's Place and then drove us to this French Restaurant.  I don't know what I expected except that I thought it would be a bit nervous.  As I said to her, this is not like talking on the phone.  But, it was like we had been friends for years (which in reality it has been).  As far as I could tell the comfort level was mutual which was suprising given the fact that there were three strange men and one woman. LOL

The second meeting was the day we met Adi for dinner (the day Shawn left).  Honestly, this was my favorite for two reasons.  First, I got to talk to Lital about 20-30 min by myself and it thusly reminded me of our emails talking about life in general. Secondly, that was THE CLIMAX of the trip from the tour to dinner and drinks with Adi to more drinks with Lital it simply was "IT."

My final moments with Lital took place the day before I left Israel.  This was a fun time with Lital and Yair. I think the only reason I look back on this with more bitter than sweet is because my mind was already drifting back to the States.  Yet always Lital told me that we can change ourselves at any time. 

During these times I tried to observe as much as I was a participant.  Each time we spent together it was always fun and enjoyable.  I had the best time learning about her, her job, listening to her stresses about deciding what to do about school.  She was always polite and ready to answer questions even when Shawn was conducting his semi-interview.  As I have stated before I still kick myself for not getting Lital's rendetion of the Hey Clip on tape!!! 

When I saw her at Murphys Bar (the second meeting) she was talking to this guy and watching her clips (showing it to me).  That was ironic and quite endearing since we have seem a similar setting on the girls clips.   We even got to see some of her pics from her trip to Sinai!   And in some ways she is very much an engima.  There seems to be a draw to her friends and then drive to pull away from them.  There is alot of confusion in her.  And, as Adi is the cool hippie chick who does not act and is totally herself in front of the camera Lital is her polar opposite, the consumate actress.  After meeting her, seeing her in person and now watching the clips - yeah I can see that.  The pictures that she poses for...is just that.   Yet her eyes reveal a great depth that is inside her head.  Combine all of that with a sweetness and you have a better view, in my honest opinion, of Lital.
