Spending time in Jerusalem and the West Bank led to some interesting experiences!


Me and Peter with Jerusalem as a back drop, our first day in the Middle East


In the old city


With our friend Stephanie and our new friend Samer who was a great guide in the Old City


What a back drop!


The best hummus in the world!


Samer took us to the best restaurant in the Old City, which happened to be right across from the ‘5th Station’.


I realized after this meal that I have never truly eaten hummus in my life!


We cruised around the Old City with Samer, seeing all of the communities within the city where families have lived for generations…


A mud bath at the Dead Sea


Now this is what I call a facial….our friend Hani took us to this beach at the Dead Sea


And on the way home we went for a roadside camel-ride


Hani guiding our camel


A church built into the cliff in the West Bank


Me and Hani with the church as a backdrop- what a sight!
