Tiberias

(in Israel > Galilee)

Worth visiting!

A review of this place: A beautiful, exciting HOLY CITY

This HOLY CITY of Tiberias, or T’verya is sooo amazing. Everyone I know of who went ther said they loved it. You must eat at a “sea”-side restaurant, and go on the NIGHT-TIME PARTY BOAT. This FLOATING NIGHTCLUB absolutely ROCKS on THE KINNERET, aka the Sea of Galilee. Shop on the promenade, it’s like a mini-SHUK and have some of the delectable looking ICE CREAM that I WISH I TRIED… I wonder if it was Dr. Lek’s. SEE TEVERYA, DANCE TEVERYA, FEEL TEVERYA, TASTE TEVERYA.

Yad Vashem

Worth visiting!

Why I recommend this place to visitors

I recommend this place to visitors because everyone needs to see how well documented the holocaust is. Every holocaust denier should vist it. If you are emotional, bring tissues. If you are not emotional, you’ll kick your own pants for not crying.

The Jewish Quarter

Worth visiting!

A tip I have about this place

If you are Jewish and traveling in The Old City, DO NOT WANDER AROUND WHERE YOU DON’T KNOW YOU’RE GOING!!!! USE A MAP!!!! USE A GUIDE!!! USE A GUIDEBOOK!!!! Believe me, you DO NOT want to ACCIDENTALLY WANDER into the wrong neighborhood where YOU DON’T SPEAK THE LANGUAGE. If you speak PERFECT ARABIC, in the PROPER DIALECT and in the PROPER ACCENT, and YOU ARE MIZRAHI, or YOU LOOK MIZRAHI, than your’e ok. DON’T BE AN AMATUER in THE WRONG NIEGHBORHOOD.
AMATUERUS, NOVICES, NEW PEOPLEPLEASE STICK TO THE JEWISH QUARTER and the
WELL TRAVELED (BY OBIVIOUS JEWS) AREAS OF THE CHRISTIAN QUARTER.
ITS FOR YOUR OWN SAFTEY FOLKS

Western Wall

Worth visiting!

My pilgrimage...

Once upon a time, there was a girl seeking to go to her spiritual home. She went there. There were bolts of electricity, pangs of emotion, flashes of light, tears of joy. She left forever changed.

Masada

(in Israel > Judea)

Worth visiting!

A review of this place: Go to Masada now!

Hike up B4 dawn, don’t waste your time going up in the cable car. When you see the sun rise… it’ll create memories of a lifetime. Next time I go, I’m hiking. My group went up in the cable car, and that really blowed.

Rabin Square

Worth visiting!

The last time I went to this place

I was most interested in picking the flowers. THEY ARE HUGE AND LOVELY! Rabin Square is worth visiting ONCE on it’s own merit, and more than once to pick the TINY TO LARGE FLOWERS.

Jaffa

Worth visiting!

A tip I have about this place

GO TO THE SHUK! YOU’LL LOVE IT!
Buy DEAD SEA products at the OPEN FRONT store right near the SHUK. EVERYONE familiar with that area will know the one, it’s blueish or something like that inside, right near the HOOKAH STORE. IT LOOKS LIKE ISRAELI Bath & Body Works.

Tel Aviv

Worth visiting!

A review of this place: Tel-Aviv is okay.

Tel-Aiv is best for night life. It is NOT the REAL Israel in MY EYES. Israel is more historic. YES Tel-Aviv is a MUST-SEE. YES Tel-Aiv is a STOP ON THE NIGHT LIFE CIRCUT. But TO ME it’s not much more. I had fun PICKING FLOWERS IN RABIN SQUARE, and I had fun at WHISKY A GO-GO. YES, I FELT SPECIAL at INDEPENDENCE HALL. But I didn’t do much else there.

The Dead Sea

(in Israel)

Worth visiting!

A tip I have about this place

The Yam HaMelech is Sababa! Whatever you do DO NOT GET YOUR EYES WET!!!! I repeat, DO NOT GET YOUR EYES WET!!! This will burn and blind you until you RINSE, RINSE RINSE!!!, the salt and minerals out of your eyes. Also, DO NOT FLOAT TO JORDAN!!! DO NOT FLOAT TO THE WEST BANK!!! You will probably be VERRRRY, VERRRRY shriveled, in A LOT of PAIN, and VERRRY VERRRY SORRRY that you wound up there. Believe me.

Ein Gedi

Worth visiting!

The last time I went to this place

It was hot as hades!!!! BUT, when we made it to the water, it was FANTASTIC!!!!!. Everyone loved it. It is beautiful. If you go to one of the main falls, look behind the bush over a small platform/ledge/landing. It is growning out of the rock… There is a hole with water coming directly out of the rock! Cool!
