israel photo essay

Nick had nerd training in Israel for a week and a half and I decided to join him. Below is a photo essay of our time there.

I don't think I ever went an entire hour without seeing a cat:

This explains all the cats:

Don't let the wings fool you:

Wandering around Old Jaffa, the oldest port in the world:

I ate a dessert that looked like shag carpeting and had the taste and texture of frosted mini-wheats that have been soaking in maple syrup all day while listening to a street performer sing "Super Freak" in Hebrew:

View of Tel Aviv:

Dinner at The Old Man and the Sea. We haven't even ordered yet:

We found a gas station/restaurant that has Elvis everything: 


Old Jaffa at night:


We found a hanging tree. Frustratingly, the plaque on the wall does not explain it. It just states that oranges have been grown in Jaffa for a long time:

The road where the good Samaritan found the  beaten traveler:

Floating in the Dead Sea:



The caves where the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered: 


The Western Wall:

Jerusalem: 

The stone slab where Jesus was prepared for burial: 

Church of the Holy Sepulchre: 

The star marks where Jesus was born:


 Dome of the Rock:


Shortly before it began to hail and snow:


O Little Town of Bethlehem: 


Watching the storm brew:

The ruins of Masada: 



Our time here comes to a close:

Hope you enjoyed them.





much love,
hedgie
