Dina: The
trip was so much fun, I want to go back again. Particularly, I was always
intrigued, this is my little historical nerd, I have always been intrigued by
the golden age of Spain. I really liked seeing Andalusia and Morocco, both
things that I knew. I mean, Andalusia, knowing that there was a golden age and
actually seeing, going fact finding, but also seeing a modern day Muslim
society was definitely eye opening and very interesting.

Tanjila: The
trip was great. We had a wonderful time. The places we went to were amazing,
beautiful. And in Spain, the Alhambra Palace, in Cordoba; the Mesquita in
Morocco, Fez, Rabat, just traveling around in the tour bus, going to our sites
and having discussions in the bus along the way about what we were seeing, what
we were doing, what we were learning, it was fantastic.

Brie: In what
we consider middle America, not necessarily from an elitist standpoint but just
a cultural perspective, I wouldn't have imagined Tulsa to be a hotbed of
inter-religious dialogue and have such a large Arab Muslim population. So it
was really for me to see and deal with my misconceptions.

Joseph: The
trip was a lot of fun, it was great. I had just graduated college a week
before, a free ticket out west, can't complain about that, with young college
students my age. I guess there was part of it where we really felt we were
doing something for the positive. I mean you don't get to see the film for
months later and are unsure what it is going to look like, but you know, the
mission was clear. I think we all felt like we were part of something so it was
definitely a lot of fun.

Daniel: The
trip was great. Look, it was a new experience to travel with a different group
of people in a country that I hold so near and dear, to a region of the world
that I hold so near and dear to my heart. Anything I can do to at least feel I
am making a difference in that part of the world, is an opportunity I am going
to grab for, it was a lot of fun. It was fun to travel with students my age,
who are really friends and who I have grown to admire and like as people.

Zachariah:
It was a lot of fun and I am a big fan of the desert and to be able to travel
in the Sinai and just in that area in general, it is striking, the landscape.
It was tense too, so it was a weird feeling, I guess. Sinai was such a striking
experience just because the tension wasn't there as much as it was when we
entered Israel again. So I guess it was both fun and not fun at points because
the Sinai, I think was one of the most powerful trips I have taken. And in the
Israeli part, I definitely felt less tense and we had a number of uncomfortable
incidents that contributed to the general sense of tension on that part of the
trip.
