When the weather was perfect I used to sit out on the balcony and watch the sun come up, when the sun gets up just a wase it reflects perfectly on the Dome of the Rock. So what your seeing only happens once a day. I hope by the end of the semester to be able to start walking up with the sun again.
A close up of the Dome of the Rock. All the art around it is Arabic.
My favorite place, the Western Wall. (refer to e-mail for extreamly long detail on this)
Typical looking street in the Old City. Exept normaly the streets are really busy. This picture was taken just before Sabbath was going to start (when the sun goes down on Friday)
For this trip I'm doing a collection of doors, this is one of my favorites so far.
Marrissa is totally cooler than the really cool door. : ]
Our group after going to church at a lutheran church (refer to e-mail for thoughts on that one : )
L to R back three Chelsy Funk (totaly from Burley), Diana Lewis, Lauren Noorda L to R front Amanda Christiansen (plays the Piano for Jr. Primary, the kids said "she's a christian" after hearing her last name : ), Marrissa Purser, Ron Linn, Taeler Herr, Eric Bushman (light blue shirt), and Jonathan Robinson (who is also my FHE brother and has the most unpredictable personality, i.e. this photo - why is he doing that with his face? : )
Dormition Abbey in all its glory.
Absoloms Pilar. Look him up in the Bible Dictionary.
Eric Bushman... totally excited about the falafel. Do you see all the scarfs in right background behind Eric? Ya they are everywhere. racks and racks of them.
Close up of some dang filling and good food. The falafel, said to be Israels food of choice. These things have everything in them. ... oddly enough these ones had fries and really good green sauce. Important part you really cant see. There these balls made of either meat or vegtables that make this thing special... your going to have to googel falafel.
