Day Five!
What a day we had today!
We started early in the morning with an incredibly powerful experience at Yad Vashem, Israel's national Holocaust museum and memorial. Our guide was excellent and really helped us connect to the Holocaust in a totally new way. Many people's most powerful experience was in the hall of names at the very end of the museum, where Yad Vashem is attempting to gather the names of all of the victims, and we were able to search their database to look for our family members.
From Yad Vashem, we drove to Tel Aviv for the first time! We got the chance to swim in the Mediterranean, eat gelato, and see an incredible off Broadway show that is originally from Israel. The show was so funny and awesome it kept us laughing the whole time. We are now out in Tel Aviv enjoying the nightlife, and soon we head back to the hotel to sleep.
We are going to the south of Israel tomorrow for the first time and we are so excited!
Onward and upward!
