For 10 days, I went on a trip of the Armeian holy site in Jerusalem, Nazereth and Bethlaham. We also went to the dead sea and spent quite a lot of time at the Armenian Convent. I went with a group of 35 other Americans, it was a great oppurtunity, and we were luckily supported by a beneficient and humble philantropist, who helped make this trip possible. I feel blessed for the oppurtunity to be in Jerusalem. I have started a blog on my experiences that relate to my Armenian Pilgrimage, it can be accessed here:
After the group left, I took the train to Tel Aviv, and found my friend, Tali, who lives in Yafa, a traditionally Arab city, that has now merged to become one with Tel Aviv. There is a youthful energetic feeling in the air of Tel Aviv, as Tali and I walk along the beach, and it is much hotter than Jerusalem, since it is right on the Mediterranean. Since Jerusalem is quite high up in the mountains, its cooler during the evenings. We go to the Armenian church in Yafa, which is right on the water front. I get a cool jumping picture. We than go to Mod’in, to visit a friend of hers and than I go north to Ber Shiva to a camping and Vipassana retreat center, near the Sea of Galilee, and the city of Tiberias.
