Jerusalem. The capital city of Israel.
The land of the bible - The Holy Land. Regarded as the center of the world and the promised land by the Jews, revered as the land that Jesus was from by Christians, and respected by Muslims as the land that Mohammad ascended into heaven. What a historic place, it is going to be like a outdoor museum! Ancient ruins, hundred year old homes, there is so much to see and so little time, so I better begin.
Getting to Jerusalem: I will need to take a flight from NY to Tel Aviv. Than from Tel Aviv - I will have to take a taxi to Jerusalem. My journey begins!
Flight into Tel Aviv - usually will take about 10-12 hours, depending on if you stop on the way. I have little time since I am on a world journey so I will take a direct flight into Tel Aviv from JFK. Now that I have landed I must start looking for a taxi to take me to Jerusalem. I hope that the taxi drivers speak English! Great they do. Ok. My cab drivers name is Ariel. He says that his name means "lion of God" in Hebrew. We talk all the way from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. He tells me about some must see places in his country. I didn't have a pen handy so I will have to rely on my memory for the places that he suggested. But either way, Ariel brings me to the center of the New City of Jerusalem. He said that I can find some cheap hotels in town. Great thanks Ariel. The cost was $60 from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Now let the journey begin!
