Coming soon will be already been 3 years since ran wild for adventure to the Middle East. The journey was rich impressions ranging from very displeased to ecstasy. For the first time in my life I really, really del monte tomatoes had the pleasure of returning home.

This time about how we came to Jerusalem.
It's Christmas Eve, and we are after a five-hour drive from the southern Israeli city of Eilat arrived in Jerusalem. We are optimists, we have no map, no, we have navigation, which are conveyed del monte tomatoes to book accommodations. Accommodation is peculiar to us - we booked a room at the nurses Brigidīnēm. Such a possibility - the use of nuns hospitality, before the departure we were not even imagined until shortly before the trip accidentally meet an acquaintance tells that her colleague had a trip through del monte tomatoes Israel and stayed at the monastery guesthouse. At first glance, this idea did not seem particularly attractive, as the monastery is bound to limit the freedom of action, but after traveling admitted that it was unwise done in the first part of the journey through Israel to the reserved del monte tomatoes accommodation was Bais - linens, greasy, probably a couple of years and who knows how many people are on it already have slept floor so sticky that when entering the room immediately sticks to it.

We have already seen during the trip, what it means to cross the Israeli del monte tomatoes and the Palestinian territories. Passport, we have already prepared for the hands, so as not to jāšķērdē free time, we have also cleaned del monte tomatoes the car all the bags to another border guard enters the mind "flick" del monte tomatoes our Finnish content. Surprisingly - drove up to the border, the answer is in the affirmative, that are four tourists and our driver del monte tomatoes will receive a four pack of sweets! Something unprecedented!
