Journey to Israel. August 26 - September 10 2005.
Two last weeks of my vacations I have spent with my friend Valera in the Israel. He has been inviting me for a long time and this summer I have finally had an opportunity to visit him. We traveled through the country, saw many interesting places, most of them very old and often noted in the Bible. The most famous were of course old Jerusalem, Nazareth, and young city of Tel Aviv, as well as smaller ones – Jaffa, Haifa, Caesarea, Akka, etc. The country is very interesting. There are many historical and religious places for Christians, Jews and Muslims. Besides that, there are also beautiful beaches and magnificent landscapes in the Israel.
