Being from from south Florida, I’m used to seing names such as Hilton, Double Tree, Mariot, and even Ritz, but in most of Israel these names are no where to be found. However, after this trip, I will no longer look to these “plush” hotels as the definitive place to stay. I learned early on this journey that small whole-in-the-wall places have water just as hot, beds just as comfortable, and people just as friendly. During this trip, I have slept in hostels (spelling?), motels, guest houses, a massive tent, and the occasional friendly shoulder. Any flat surface will do! At the beginnng of my trip in the north of Israel called the Golan Heights, I slept in a room roughly the size of a walk-in closet with a roommate. As the trip progressed, we (myself and my roommate) entered Jerusalem and stepped into a huge room fit for six people. In the end, the housing on this trip has been great and I’ll no longer be affraid to try someplace unfamiliar!

More posts from my trip to Israel are coming soon!
