More Photos from Jerusalem

Check out the additional photos posted from Jerusalem.

We just finished our third day in Jerusalem. Our guide Yohanan (Hal) led us through the Old City and beyond. We've seen the Shrine of the Book (Dead Sea Scrolls), the International Christian Embassy, the Mount of Olives, the Garden of Gethsemane, Christ Church (Anglican) and the Western Wall. We visited the Holocaust Museum and then up to the Hebrew University for a panoramic view of the Old City. We traced the Via Dolorosa, the traditional walk up the cobble-stone streets of Jerusalem where Jesus is thought to have carried the cross to Calvary. We sang hymns in St Anne's Church and viewed the archaeological digs outside the city walls and then inside by the Pool of Bethesda. In the mornings, George starts our day with an orientation.

We celebrated Sabbath supper at the King Solomon Hotel. Vonnie and Greg Michels joined us - Greg shared the traditions of the Sabbath meal. We are learning and growing, and enjoying the company of fellow travelers.

More to come! (See more information on the History on the Move blog)
