Israel

I'm so happy I decided to visit Israel in early June because the weather was great; it was never too hot to be outside so I got a lot of exploring done. I visited so many gorgeous places like Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Tzfat, Masada, Tiberias, and the Negev Desert. I was also very lucky to be in Jerusalem on Jerusalem day so I went to the parade and got to experience the love and pride that Israelis have for their country first hand! What I enjoyed the most was the unique culture and experience that each different city had to offer. I visited the western wall, experienced the sunrise at Masada, swam in the dead sea, rode on a camel, slept in the Bedouin tents, fed the local cats, shopped in the market, and enjoyed the art in Tzfat. I made memories to last a lifetime and I look forward to going back one day!

This vacation was the first time I was ever at an all-inclusive resort, and let me tell you, it was amazing! It was really nice not worrying about anything for a whole week, and the resort itself was so big that I never ran out of places to explore! One of my favorite parts was waking up at 5am to see the sunrise- I'd get to the beach early and relax while I waited for the sun to peek out from the horizon. Sunsets were beautiful too, the whole resort turned golden. 

Another thing I loved about the resort was how there were so many iguanas and other exotic animals just hanging around. Although it was hard to get any photos of the other animals since they were nocturnal, I did get a great one of the iguanas!

The water was so blue and so clean, it truly felt like paradise. Here are some of my favorite photos!
