Around Jerusalem

Seven Arches overlook. right below is a large Jewish cemetery with the oldest tombs at the bottom. The gate of the old city is right behind us and of course the Dome of the Rock. With my rommie and Daniel.

Orthodox Jews enjoying the overlook. Probably really honoring the dead in the cemetery. Some of them you can tell they have forelocks.


Augusta Victoria Tower. it is on top of Mt. of Olives. I started running up the bell tower but halfway up realized it was pretty far up so i had to walk. i was panting a little when i got up. it doesn't really look too high here but it was high.

looking west over Jerusalem! The Jerusalem Center I'm staying at is on the bottom right corner.


Mt of Saint Elijah. This hill separates Jerusalem from Bethlehem. Bethlehem is left of this picture.
Sheep herder that came on the hill where we were. The best part was watching him herd his sheep while on his cell phone. ha
