Odds and The End

The last post of the trip. Some odds and ends...
-Old City from the Citadel.
-Old City from the Mount of Olives.

-Beit She'an

-Beit She'an from the Tel.

-The Galilee.

-Caeserea (hippodrome).

-Jericho.

-Tel Aviv.



Some impressions:

-Lots of machine guns. Never felt like I was going to get hurt. Maybe it was because I was American.

-Much hillier than I ever imagine. Especially in Jerusalem.

-Israelis really like their clogs (crocs).

-Drivers use their bumpers and horns to drive.

-Checkpoints all over.

-Tension near Jerusalem. The coast feels like California.

-High heels, even at ruins!

-Dressing warmly, even when it's warm.

-Giant bottles of water.

-Drying up bodies of water.

-Ruins everywhere and everything is built on everything else.

-Fields of the kibbutzs, falafels on every corner, great citrus.
