In the night, we… the three of us drove back to Tel Aviv and Hillman got lost. It’s not a good idea to get lost in Israel because everything is, like, 6 miles from the border. So we get lost and we come to this barbed wire fence and there’s these lights and things and guards and stuff. And I look up and it says Dimona. I didn’t know what that meant, but Hillman knew what it meant and we turned around and beat it. Of course, Dimona was where they were making the nuclear weapon and that was not a good place for us to be.
