Religious Roulette

Jerusalem. The most holy city in the world. The three great monotheistic religions - representing half the worlds population - all fighting tooth and nail for this tiny piece of real estate. It's a delicate balance with bells, prayers, processions, gatherings and demonstrations of all sorts taking place simultaneously within the walls of the old city. There is something alive here. You can feel it tickle the skin and hum in the ears. It is impossible to put into words the feelings this city evokes. Now that I am here, I couldn't imagine life without experiencing this. Of all the landmarks on my travels. This is the one place (so far) that I think everyone should see before they die. Seriously, book a trip for next year before some worldly event makes this place inaccessible. Because the thing that makes this place so special is the turmoil. It's the tension in the air. If any one faith does manage to reconquer Jerusalem - I believe the magic will be lost.
