Jerusalem, Israel - November 2005

April: We turned out to be incredible fortunate in Israel. Royce befriended a gentlemen on the border crossing bus who really helped us out. Because we crossed into Israel in a different location, we were not sure what we would do for transportation. We also thought we had lost our opportunity to go to Jerusalem. He was an American and Israeli citizen, living in Jerusalem, who offered to take us there in his car. If it were not for him, we would have never experienced the awe of Jerusalem's old town and the rich history that it holds. After touring the city, we took a bus to Tel Aviv, where we stayed for 1 night, before catching our flight to Milan, Italy. Although our time in Israel was short, I was impressed with the landscape and helpful people. It is unfortunate that there are so many political problems there, and I wish them peace in the future.
