    I'm not religious so I'm not sure about visiting there in this day and age. I guess when Israeli government ends its apartheid I would like to travel the area.

      One of my best friends is Israeli and I had the good fortune to see the country through her eyes. There is so much to see historically and archaeologically that I don't think you need to be particularly religious to enjoy the country.

      It is a sacred place to so many religions. Walking through Jerusalem is like inhabiting many different eras at the same time.

    I would love to see it myself but not these days and not under these political circumstances

    Jerusalem is on my bucket list. I have a strange feeling that I might find something there for which I have been searching all my life.

    I would love to see Israel, especially without the guns.

    What a strange, yet modern day world juxtaposition. I too, as Sarah says, would love to see the place, but not the guns.

    Have I told you yet that I love the poem Ithaka on your sidebar, and have printed it out to re-read and re-read? It is SO good.

      My favorite poem......so glad you enjoy reading it. It was read at Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis's funeral, apparently her favorite poem as well.

      Humanity is an odd bunch. Sometimes I wonder how we manage to take ourselves seriously!
