What is our story about?

Life IS unpredictable! You never know what can happen with you and where, when and whom you can meet. We really agree with this because … It happened with us! Some American guy and Ukrainian girl meet in Amsterdam on August 26, 2011 in front of the Hotel Pulitzer. And so here our story begins…

Our names are Clinton and Tanya. We are both still trying to decide whether our meeting was fate but while we decide we have agreed to keep traveling together. This is our savory story of our traveling experiences, the places that we visit, the people that we meet, the food that we enjoy and generally the cultures that we discover. Welcome to our blog!

…such a story about this place… the mass suicide of the 960 Jewish people!

We liked these informational plates. There were many of them. We did not need a guide and it gave us more time to walk around still understanding everything and “being involved” with the story..

Massada! Here, in the year 73, towards the end of the First Jewish–Roman War, the mass suicide of the 960 Jewish rebels and their families took place! These Jewish zealots living at the top of Massada chose to commit suicide rather than to fall into the hands of the Romans alive! We counld not believe it…

It is really one of the most incredible places we’ve visited. We were amazed by its story of perseverance and power, faith and surrender, ambitions, and a tragic end!..

Wow!

…Higher and higher we were uplifting to the hill where Massada is located!…:)

A short video of Massada Museum… If I was by myself I would be scared to walk there in the darkness among those “people”…

I think some scary movie about alive statues could be made here :D

The Massada Museum! Full of mystery.. We liked it!

p.s. Photos were not allowed but … I have some :)

We just entered Massada! We were super excited to hear and learn more of the story! Especially I was interested because Clinton did not tell me where we go till the very last moment keeping it as a secret :)

On our way to Massada!

It is a combination of us three: computer-Clinton and me. Here is the fact about it: we are talking and … heeeeey…Clinton does not hear me anymore being destructed by computer (some mail from job)! It used to bother (or even irritate me) a lot! But now It’s okay. I just need to learn how to handle this :)

I mentioned about buying Nike shoes in Eilat! So here they are! :) I love them! SO comfortable!

Clinton was sitting outside figuring out some things about the Dead Sea. It was not completely dark when we arrived but it was late enough doing anything. So we just took our time without doing much but having dinner that night later. I also remember us finding McDonald’s where Clinton had French fries (it is rare but happens if there is no food around and he is very hungry) :)

At the Dead Sea, we stayed in the “Le Meridien David” hotel. It was nice. I loved huge mirror in our room and view at a sea from the balcony :)
