I must admit I was sceptical about how Israel was the center of the world! the enjoyment I got from the trip I made is tough to explain, we saw a ton of sites some real, some probably fake, however knowing that so much history has happened where you are walking makes you appreciate everything so much more. I must say a journalist summed it up the best by saying,”Life does not go around you here and pass you by, what is does is goes through you.” It might sound a bit weird but if you have been there I think you will understand that. I was fortunate to have a native show me around to what I think were authentic sites and I hope to go back sometime in the next few years!
