A Mermaid in Jerusalem
Beautiful people of Israel
Yeah, ok, so the land of Israel is freaking gorgeous — from the rolling hills of the Golan in the North, to the vast open space of deserts in the South.
The ancient and the modern blend together seamlessly in the cities, and fields flourish in between.
Sure, this is a beautiful country geographically speaking.
But the people in all of its cultural complexities, make Israel all the more magnificent.
