This is Israel. Well, it's not all of Israel, but it's a city in Israel. It's actually Jerusalem. I went there, and it's a lot like Mrytle Beach; except replace putt-putt and fried seafood with Jesus and religious gift stores. Other than that they're the same.
This is the Western Wall, or the more common "Wailing Wall". It's the most holy thing in the Jewish faith according to my tour guide. People go ape shit here. There was a couple of Hasidic Jews banging their heads on the wall and really praying up a storm. Here is something I found interesting: You know how Muslims and Jews haven't historically gotten along, well I won't go into the historic details, but let's just say that they've got religious beef. Anywho, the 3rd most important spot in Islam sit directly above the Wailing Wall. So guess what happens from time to time when you put a bunch of religious, nuts (on both sides) next to each other? Yep, some shit pops off. So, why in Allah's name do they have to remain next to each other? It should be like grade schoole and the teacher moves the kids to opposite sides of the classroom. Who wants to pray in South East Asia!!!?
The Dead Sea is amazing. You float so easy because of all the salt. I felt like I was Peter Pan and flying on water. It's a really good time. However, there is a hitch in the fun. If you have ANY cut on your body it is really painful. And I mean ANY. Like let's say you had an upset stomach and had to take a healthy poo poo before you went swiming in the Dead Sea. And this particular poo required extra paper work and it gave you a case of the Red Ass. If this happened to you then your asshole would feel like it was dipped in a burning, openly infected herpies sore. Yes, that's what happened to me. However, it was instantly healed 12 hrs later.
I enjoyed Israel.
