View of Jerusalem from the South. It may not come through very well in the picture, but try to note the geography of the city that you can see in this picture. The mountains and valleys surrounding the city create a bowl shaped valley in which the city rests.
The New City Walls, built in the 1400's.
The Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the site of Jesus crucifixion and burial.
Hanging out on a rooftop, in all likelihood getting a lesson on something or the other.
Studying notes from the earlier days Bible history/geography lesson.
Barrier that divides seperates Jerusalem from the West Bank.
The City of David, which sits in the very center of the valley in the middle of Jerusalem.
Wading through Hezekiah's Tunnel. It was built by Hezekiah during the invasion of the Assyrian's to keep the city supplied with water. The tunnel funneled water from a spring outside the city into a pool, which would become known as the Pool of Siloam(note the name of the pool for later). Biblical accounts of Hezekiah's Tunnel can be found in 2 Chronicles 32, Nehemiah 3:8 and Isaiah 22:9-11.
Zion Gate. Note the bullet marks.
I will try to post some more pictures and another musing on some of the things we are learning tomorrow.
