Jerusalem | Shorashim - Israel with Israelis

This has was a powerful moment as we have gone our entire lives seeing pictures of the holy city. Now we were finally here.

We rose to the top and floated on the surface of the Dead Sea; rising to the top is a common theme of the day. 
 

Suddenly a wonderful feeling came over my heart and a smile across my face when I remembered I was in Israel.

Today we woke up in Jerusalem and drove to Yad Vashem, the Holocaust Museum. The museum was beautiful and so was the view from the museum grounds.

Walking through the museum and listening to the guide was a somewhat surreal and intense experience. The museum was a huge pyramid-like structure filled with what seemed like endless exhibits portraying the vile and evil acts of the Nazis towards the Jews.
