6:30/bus to tel-aviv/tour bus,guide...all aboard/+28ºC/full ahead!!!
theme of the tour - 'jerusalem - the city of three religions'... so many questions, will i get any answers? half an hour later stop at the gaz station/rest area turn into elvis presley museum. lots of statues, pictures, t-shirts, mugs and non-stop music - 'you can do anything, but lay off of my blue suede shoes...'
joel, that's the place to be dude : )
aight, only twenty minutes more of ride and we are in jerusalem - am i dreaming?
here history comes reality... how about the future?
'three ways to know god' - this is how our guide sasha(amazing dude) rephrased the theme of our tour i am afraid to start retelling very professional, highly informative story that sasha prepared for us - i will keep it maybe for 'reflections' to be published on our website...
one of the world oldest cities on the face of the earth.... being near places where abraham was about to sacrifice isaac, the tomb and trone of king David, remains of the great Temple, Golgotha, The Stone of Unction... learning about mohammad and islam (islam means submission)... and more and more and much more
so much to say...
few things to note: while muslims lay their hands on the rock from which mohammad ascended to the heaven, jews lay their hands on the western wall (remains of the great Temple), christians (some of them) lay their hands on The Stone of Unction...
it is definitely an amazing in every way place...
i am thrilled - wish you were here!
while i was preparing this post i had one more tour - 'the christian jerusalem'...
overwhelmed... according to a legend mary's(mother of the Lord) tomb was found empty ... allegedly she was taken to heaven - we have visited the place...
tomorrow we are leaving for eilat - five days on the red sea... WOW!
