My visit to Israel

I am happy to get safely back from my Vacation trip to Israel. The trip was incredible. We drove from Egyptian and Jordan borders (observing also Saudi Arabia shore) up to Lebanon border. (skipped checking Syria border this time – not really safe there - but did that in my previous trip…). We visited also the border of Gaza Strip  (Sderot ), crossed a couple other Palestinian territories, bicycling and touring in Jerusalem (met Bill Clinton there!), staying in Tel Aviv , visited also Haifa. We swam in three seas – Dead , Red and Mediterranean and crossed two deserts - Negev and Judaean  visited  King Solomon's Copper Mines  and  Masada Desert Fortress . Plus other activities…

We captured a lot of pictures and videos and I have started published them in my blog. You may want to check 1st two postings here:

-      Praying together with Bill Clinton at the wailing wall in Jerusalem

-          Red Sea Underwater Filming.

Later I plan to put more vids from the trip on my YouTube Chanel - http://www.youtube.com/itrubin  - subscribe!
