On today's tiyul, we went to the Old City of Jerusalem. The old city is probably the most culturally diverse place I have ever been. Not only is it a city of many religions, but there are different sects to each religion, each having a different culture. As Americans, this is a huge culture shock, but once you learn to get past this, the beauty of it all starts to come together.
During the day, we danced with Israeli middle schoolers, sang with people on the street, watched the tourists go by, and learn about the history of this magnificent city. There really is no other city like it anywhere in the world.
