We have spent the first week in Israel discovering the wonders of the desert and starting to explore Jerusalem. We slept in the desert and all bonded through the experience and saw some incredible views! My favorite was a lookout where we could see Israel, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt at once. Swimming in the Red Sea was also really fun and refreshing! Our final adventure was waking up at 3:40 AM after sleeping in the very comfortable Bedouin tents to climb Masada for sunrise. The sunrise was beautiful and we were all grateful for the long bus ride to Jerusalem so we could get some sleep. Jerusalem is beautiful! Today we went to the City of David and walked inside a 2800 year old aqueduct, and explored a market which had delicious food and lots of fun jewelry and other things to buy. I’m excited to see more of Jerusalem and Israel!
