Reflection winter break :: SHARE

Over winter break, I went to Israel with my dad's side of the family. It was a blast, and an experience I will never forget. We first went to Tel Aviv, the most modern part of the country. It felt like I was in the middle of New York. Next we bussed our way up to Haifa, to the beautiful gardens there. A whole mountain was made into an amazing landscape by the Bajai, one of the many religions with a holy place in Israel. Then we went to The northern tip of the country. We stood at a point where Lebanon was visible, and it looked beautiful. There are many border issues between those countries, so we made sure to keep our distance from the fence. After that, we went to Jerusalem. The old city was so well kept, it was amazing. The huge castles and fortresses we saw (built by Herod, a famous and crazy King) were astounding, and it was awesome to look out at the newer parts of town from there.
