ISRAEL
By: Jade, 12, (aka jade_nicole)
Israel
is an amazing place for vacation. There are so many
things to do like going to the Mediterranean Sea,
the Red Sea, and the Dead Sea. When you go to the
Dead Sea you get to cover yourself in mud, you can
also go into the sulfur pool which helps your
muscles (but smells), or you can go into the
swimming pool...but the best part about the Dead Sea
is when you go into the Sea you float! The water is
so salty there aren’t any living creatures and the
salt is so powerful that it is hard to stand up! You
can also go on an archeological dig (I found pottery
and bones)! Some other things you can do are go to
Masada, shop in many malls or on Ben Yehuda Street,
go to see the borders with Egypt, Lebanon, or even
Syria. You can also go to the Carmel Market or Shook
which is like a huge outdoor flea market. You can
also see many ancient ruins and beautiful views like
the BaHai Gardens. The Underwater Observatory is a
very interesting place and has a lot of fish...or
maybe you would like to go into one of the many
museums or the Sculpture Gardens. Another thing you
can do in Israel is to go to grave sites of very
important people like Theodore Herzl, Golda Mier,
David Ben Gurion, and many more. Israel has lots of
good food like falafal, shwarma, halavah, and so
much more. You may also want to check out the
quarters (Jewish, Arab, Armenian, or Christian). If
you choose to visit Israel you will be able to see
many soldiers walking around, because when your 18
you have to go into the Israeli Army. There is so
much to do and see in Israel I could go on and on,
and I could visit Israel for many weeks and still
not see everything Israel has to offer. It’s hard to
believe that Israel is only 58 years old!
