The Bombing

What can I say about the bombing? Well, it didn't slow our trip to Beershva at all. We arrived perfectly on schedule. They didn't briefly change a rule: no buses for the next couple of days, even though Beersheva was supposed to be a safe city for buses. The bomber tried to board the number 9 bus, which was to be our primary bus while there. Fortunately, the smart bus driver turned him away.

Incredibly, when we drove by the site of the attack a few hours later, it appeared to be all cleared up. Business as usual. Israelis are used to this kind of event in a way that North Americans are not. It's sad.
