Favorite Things (or lack there of)

upon returning, the first question many people ask is, 'what was your favorite thing that you saw or did?'

to them i have just been shaking my head and responding, 'i don't know.'

we saw and did so many things, that it is very difficult to choose a favorite. so the things i have narrowed it down to would be:
- seeing the various landscapes and ruins in general so the stories in the bible will be more accurately imagined in my mind
- watching a different culture live their every day life
- the art that was all over the streets of the cities and the museums

so as a lover of art and creating things, i will share some pictures with you of a few of my favorite sculptures and mosaics:

 mamila ave, jerusalem

 mamila ave, jerusalem
these dancers twirled together are very contra-esque

 mamila ave, jerusalem

sea of galilee
this entire bench is a mosaic, done by a kibbutz member and visiting youth

netanya, mediterannean sea
 this is a mosaic, about 6 feet tall

 tiberias, sea of galilee
the leaves are the hebrew alphabet

masada, near the dead sea
there was a small art gallery at the entrance

  1. If you had only one favorite, I would be surprised. You probably saw, smelled, tasted, heard, and touched much that you'd never experienced before. I do like the art pix. I read a book about Masada. Such a sad yet heroic story. Love your posts, Hannah!
