We have been slacking these past few weeks on pictures so here's a few from the adventures...
A Beautiful Day at the Western Wall
Walking under the city of Jerusalem, next to the Western Wall. Back in the day when the Muslims took control of the Temple Mount, the people built the city and their homes up to the same level as the Temple Mount. This meant that the height of the Western Wall was reduced and now most of it is covered or under houses.
Part of the Wall
Brooke has an obsession with her feet :) (No i don't!!! this is where Jesus walked! I was documenting!!!)
Southern Side of the City. This is said to be the point of the wall called the Pinnacle Point where Jesus was tempted by Satan to cast himself off the way.

Steps to the temple.

Steps leading up to the city where Jesus walked.
The Three Archways leading into the city.

Just being a column in the city.
The Golden Gate. This is the gate that they believe Jesus will return to. The Muslims didn't like that idea so much so they filled in the gate and then built a cemetary around it because Rabbi's weren't allowed in.
Mercy Gate
Burnt House
Taking our tour on phones!!!
Duplication of Old Jerusalem, it was really cool! It helped piece everything together!
Cell phones...heck yes!
Knesset (Israel's Government Building)
Inside the Church of the Holy Sepulchure, Church where Christ was crucified and then buried, we watched a Greek Orthodox Mass...didn't understand a whole it was in Latin.


Overlook, Where "Jesus Wept" over Jerusalem
Dormition Abbey in the back, ontop of a church where the Last Supper happened and one of David's Tomb's is located. David's Citadel, sweet arch!

God loves Jerusalem so it gave it beautiful sunsets! :)
