My Photo Project

This past January, I left America for the first time and went halfway across the world to Israel. It was an amazing, culture filled experience and the best trip I have ever been on. There was so much history to explore in Israel and I learned quite a bit for just visiting for ten days.  Five places that I visited and were truly beautiful are pictured below. 

Overlooking the Kotel (Western Wall) in the Old City of Jerusalem

The Western Wall was possibly the most eye opening site I went to when I was in Israel. I have heard and seen pictures of people touching, praying, and kissing the wall and I actually I had the chance to do the same.  It was such a beautiful site, full of history and culture, and I finally got to walk in the same footsteps as my ancestors.   

Cliffs of Rosh Hanikra and the Mediterranean Sea

The Mediterranean Sea was gorgeous and it was raining that day, so the water was pretty rough.  The waves were beautiful though.

Amphitheater in the Roman City of Bet Shean

I took a great interest in the Roman City. I learned about many ancient amphitheaters in my theatre classes and only saw pictures of them in books, so it was really neat to sit on the steps and experience it up close.

Camel riding at the Bedouin Tents

When you go to Israel, you must ride a camel!

Waterfall in the Golan Heights

I went on many hikes from Masada to the Golan Heights.  As my group was taking a rest while hiking in the Golan Heights, we stopped by this breathtaking waterfall. It was so calming to just watch the water.

I enjoyed all the beautiful history, nature, and scenery Israel had to offer.
