Here is a brief list of what we saw (in about 6 hours!)
1. Jaffa Gate
2. Dome of the Rock (from a distance).
3. Church of the Holy Seplecher (traditional site of the crucifixion
and resurection)
4. Damascus Gate
5. Pool of Bethesda (site where Christ healed the man who had been
lame for 38 years...see John 5:1-9)
6. Mount of Olives (from a distance) ... includes Garden of Gethsemane.
7. Western (Wailing) Wall (where I almost got the knife I always carry
confiscated...! Oops, I didn't know we were going anywhere like that
today...I learned not to carry anything I wouldn't put in my carry-on
baggage on field trips in Israel...at least into the city.
Ok so I saw lots of guys with guns today...even some girls that
appeared to be about 15 years old in IDF uniforms...they were probably
at least 17, but they looked really young. It was kinda funny to see
some of them with pigtail braids, and others of them them talking on
their cell phones carrying M16s or whatever it is they carry. :)
Here are a couple of pictures I hope you enjoy. The first one is of
some IDF soldiers...thought you'd want to see their cool guns.
Theother one is me in front of the Mount of Olives...again, thought you
would want to see that im still alive and well! :)
It is really pretty out here, a little colder than CA and definitely
more windy, but very similar weather and terrain. We are having a lot
of fun, doing lots of homework...:)
