This past February, I saved up and spent a week in Israel.
Well, that's probably not completely correct.
As I only had a week, I spent most of my week in Jerusalem, with a short trip into the dessert to partake in floating in the dead sea and a couple days in Tel Aviv.
How does I make the decision to visit Israel?
I thought it would be cool to visit major nations of the 3 people of the book... which book?
THE book
While I have to make a trip out to Mecca,
I am still pretty proud that I made it to Israel.
What can I say about Jerusalem?... Visit it at night. It's really hard to feel reverence for the sanctity of a place when "pikajew" (yes. Pikachu with a hasidic beard and hat with "Pikajew" underneath the picture) t-shirts are being sold.
There's also something super special about seeing all those people worshipping at night.
My favorite thing was doing a bike tour at night.
What was not my favorite was being thrown racial slurs...
More on that to come
