We have had some very busy last couple days. Saturday we visited theMount of Olives, the Garden of Gethsemane, and came the closest wehave been to walking in the actual steps of Christ. WOW! We also had some visitors who are friends of one of my classmates. They came and talked about the work they have done here in the country and in Palestine.
Yesterday we did all you can do inside the walls of the old city. We visited the Temple Mount and the Dome of the Rock, walked through many of the old churches and the Via Dolorosa, and the Wailing Wall. The Wailing Wall (Western Wall) is a pretty powerful place and was a good time to pray and reflect. It was in stark contradicition to the Holy Sepulchre which refelcts the hustle, bustle, and noise of the city.
Today we are going to Yad Vashem, the national Holocaust museum. We will also visit some other sites and prepare for our early departure tommorrow morning. We look forward to seeing you all when we get home and sharing our stories and treasures. Sorry this is such a short note, but without pictures some of the sights just wont be done justice. Plus, I just don't have the time, we are always on the move it seems.
