Today was another exciting day in Jerusalem! We started off the day by eating our last delicious breakfast at Kibbutz Shefayim and loading our luggage on the bus. From there, we drove to the underground Kotel Tunnels. Our tour guide, Hilik, led us around the area dressed as _______ and gave us a fun but informative tour. Then, we entered the Kotel Tunnels. It was a very narrow tunnel, surrounded by Jerusalem stone and with water up to our ankles. We walked through the tunnels, sometimes with flashlights but sometimes in complete darkness. When we emerged, we walked to our bus and drove to Hass Promenade.
Hass Promenade is a stunning overlook of Jerusalem. We closed our eyes as we exited the bus and held hands as we walked to the overlook. When we all opened our eyes, an indescribable feeling washed over us. We were finally in Jerusalem. Tel-Aviv and the other places we had traveled to were obviously in Israel, but it didn’t truly feel like Israel to me until we walked the streets of Jerusalem.
