Israel Bucket List

Now that I'm feeling MUCH better (though I still have a major case of the blues), I am determined to make a plan to truly experience Jerusalem and Israel. This is the second weekend where I have basically sat in my apartment and it is rather depressing and boring. I've been working on the creation of an "Israel Bucket List" and I'm sure that it will grow and change while I'm here, but here it is for a start:

1. Eilat and Petra

2. Tel Aviv (beach and nightlife)

3. Rosh Hanikra

4. Ceasarea

5. Western Wall Tunnel

6. HaOphel

7. Via Dolorosa and the Holy Sepulchre at 4pm (that's when all the different denominations chant, it's supposed to be amazing)

8. Israel Museum and Shrine of the Book (this is currently closed for renovation, but will reopen next year)

9. Shopping for jewelry in the Jewish Quarter

10. Yad Vashem

11. Rosh Hashannah at the Western Wall

12. Observation Point on Mount Scopus

13. Masada

14. Haifa (more than just the mall :P)

15. Attend Shabbat services at a few different synagogues with different affiliations

There will be PLENTY more to add, I'm sure!
