Jerusalim and other parts of Israel

Israel is an very interesting country to visit, it has a lot of history and a lot of treasures that people don't know to appreciate. It is so sad that because of the pride of religions, of the churches, of the politicians, the rest of the world cannot enjoy what for them is holy. I don't want to make an article about history class or about religion, I will just say what I remember from my trip and what I think about this places which I visited.  

First of all, if you go to Israel you have to take a bath in the dead sea and put some mud on you, just be carefeul about open wounds or scratches because you'll feel itchiness, (you feel anyway:))) ). Near to the dead sea there is a big shop and restaurant from where you can buy some products with minerals from the sea (just hurry up, the water is less and less every year and in 20 years it will disappear completely). I bought from Ahava company and I wanna say that today is the 3rd time when I wash my hair with these products and I am impressed by the effects! I recommend you with pleasure! From another store I bought an anti-acne soap only with 5 euros and this makes miracles too. Just try some local product, there are AMAZING! (now I feel so sorry that I didn't buy more things I needed...) Ow, another thing, don't worry if you have only a hand baggage because you can have more than 200 ml when you get out of Israel. In the small desert here, it was found the oldest Bible in the world from Jesus time, discovered in a cave and it has an interesting story too. 

We went after in Bethlehem which belongs to Palestina. Don't go alone as a girl, I was with a group and some guys from a market where we stopped, came to me and wanted to take pictures with me, I received a lot of presents (a bracelet, a cream, a shower gel, sweets, fridge magnets, lemonade for me and my parents and my brother). Also my brother is a big guy (I put a photo with him) and they asked him to make pictures with him too, it was very funny:))). This city is nice but just to visit, I asked arround and there are no places where you can go actually and it is also a little bit dangerous. 

Instead, Jerusalemis a more interesting city, bigger and full of people. I saw the city from the Olives Mountain, near to a jewish cemetery. The guide explained to us about the city and about the days when Jesus was caught in the Garden of Ghetsimani which means oil press. Here is a lot of things to say because of the rich history and all events that took place there. From the mountain you can also see 2 mosques (one with a golden dome and one with a black dome), the golden gate in which Jesus entered the city on the donkey and down there, near the wall there is a christian cemetery but very very close to the wall...guess what? Guess what kind of cemetary is?  You know there is a written prophecy like that Jesus will come again for the christian and for the first time for the jewish at that gate and you will rise first if you are close to the place. So, even if muslims don't believe in Jesus, they assured to have a grave near to the wall, because is their place. It is so sad to see what muslims did with that holy place, is full of shops, you can not cross the Path of the Cross (which has 14 stops) without being disturbed by sellers, shouting and....well, is like a gypsy market and that makes me sad....:( We also visited some churches which are not finished for tourists because they belong to several churches that fight for the power and money. What is wrong with this world?? 

We went also on Golgota mountain which means head or face shape and we saw 2 of the seven places supposed to be the grave of Jesus. At the second one, the one in the church, I saw only the thumb of Joseph, the one who gave up his and his family grave to bury Jesus there.The Wailing Wall is a place where you must go, prepare from home the notes with your prayers and go and put the notes somewhere there, touch the wall and believe from your heart that Jesus is the sun of God, that he was born and died for us, miracles will happen. (I know that for sure)! I could write so many things about this short pilgrimage but I don't want to bore you:D

All in all, I was absolutely fascinated about all the information I found out, the places I saw and visited, things I experienced and if you have the opportunity, you should go for sure! But don't forget, a guide here is abolutely necessary!
