Hello blog readers,

We are in Jerusalem, but getting here was interesting. We finally were able

to bring our rental back. Yeaaaah?? This morning we entered through the Jaffa Gate.

into a world we could hardly imagine. You can see all the pictures read all

the travel books but until you enter this city you will not conceive of its rareness

( my new word) So first we made our way to the Western Wall. I could go to the wall

in a different area as a man. Gloria to another area of the wall as a woman. I took

photos actually got up to the wall, put my hand on it and asked our God to send

Jesus QUICKLY. The pictures I send will show things going on and how excited the

Jews are Next we went to the Cardo Mavis a 2nd to 6th century Roman street. We had

some lunch and headed for the Temple Mount. Only open today fron 1:30 to 2:30

We waited for 1 1/2 hours to get in. We spent 30 min and then they schooed us off.

I will include pictures with this blog.

One thing I did not realize was how steep up and down is in the old city. From the Temple

Mount to the New Gate took us a half an hour. Then another 20 min to our apartment

We are pretty tired tonight Tomorrow the Mt of Olives.,

as always

I think the time in Jerusalem would have been the most fascinating to me of all your trip. So exciting!
