Happy and Sweet Year !
It is the time of the civil new year in Israel right now called Rosh HaShanah. Here is a little music video for this festival that I stumbled upon. It is in Hebrew but there are subtitles and its worth the listen :)
Well, we have finally made it to Israel safe and sound! We covered 6041 miles in about 20 hours of travel time (which may seem long but it's better than 40 years! haha). All our flights were on time and smooth, and in the end it didn't feel as long as it was :)
So our first day in Jerusalem has been good so far! we slept in due to some good jet lag, and then enjoyed a sunshiny morning in our little garden patio outside our cottage ! what a blessing to have a house so beautiful to live in for such a beautiful city.
So for our first day, we wanted to see the Western Wall to visit! It was just as amazing as I had imagined. I was in such awe and joy the whole time, it was all surreal. Just to be there was breath-taking.
Here are some pictures of our exploring the city:
I'm having fun picking up a little Hebrew here and there when we are exploring. I love the challenge to learn ! When we were walking around it was so neat to see all the markets and booths selling stunning items to include clothing, scarves, books, food (yummm), jewelry, Shabbat items etc.
All the streets are beautiful and filled with gardens !
I feel like I'm finally HOME :)
