The Old City of Jaffa

Well, you did ask for photos from my mini-vacation, here they are :)

This is an ancient port city right on the Mediterranean. It's a GORGEOUS place, walking down the hill is so relaxing and the views are amazing... And you get these views from everywhere!

According to our tour guide Jaffa was built in 7500 BCE, and was conquered by pretty much everyone from King David to the Ottoman Empire and Napoleon I of France throughout time.

Now the land is apart of Israel and is connected to the city of Tel Aviv. 

Jaffa is also home to the Jaffa Flea Market, where you can find literally anything (my mom and I found a Gucci wallet from the 90's in very good shape and ancient coins from the Ottoman period)

If any of you all ever come to the Middle East, don't skip a trip to Jaffa!!
