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
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!
ReplyDeleteI love the artwork. That bench is amazing! So glad you got to experience it all!
