Two pieces from Jerusalem - one made by a local Israeli woman at a pottery fair, one from a street fair on my birthright trip.

Birthright. They get you right off the plane and start touring - Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, and Haifa in the north.
On the bus I had one of the most exhausting nights of my life - I fell asleep as quick as I ever have.
Yad Vashem looked out on the city and the Western Wall. Just a truly beautiful city.
Unbelievable shawarma, unbelievable pita.
I bought these ceramics at a street fair - the sphere from a local Israeli woman who made it with her hands - and brought some home for my family, who don't really use them but finally put them out.
Made really good friends and then never spoke to them again, but when you go on a trip like that, it's life changing really. It's a memory from a long time ago.
