I want to drive to Europe

For years now I’ve had a dream. To just get in the car and drive. To Europe. From my home in Israel. I love driving. I love traveling. They could be great together.

Someone told me I can call it a dream for “world peace” or “hummus in Damascus”. But the truth is, that’s not where I’m coming from. I just want to get in the car and drive to Europe. That’s all. Not that all the rest of the peace utopia wouldn’t be awesome as well; that’s a dream I certainly share with the rest of the world. But this driving to Europe thing is my own personal dream.

I got so excited recently when I’ve heard the news re negotiations with Syria. Not sure I’m happy with their context or consequences, but hey, they still got my hopes up. Syria is the main obstacle now on my way to Europe. I can drive through Jordan, Turkey, etc. Even through Iraq (I’m a US citizen). But not Syria.
