I, little Brianne Cook, have now walked the streets where the Savior once lived. It's so incredible I can hardly take it in. We live in East Jerusalem and spent most of our day in the Old City. So far I've fallen in love with the Old City, but i'm sure I'll warm up to the more "westernized" West Jerusalem. Oh both sides are beautiful in their own unique way I just have a particular love for all the history that's preserved in the Old City. We walked into town and my professor had us place our hand on a wall and then proceeded to tell us that the Ottomans had built it and I realized that it was older than the existence of my country! I've logically understood that before but it hit me at that moment that I had never touched any man made thing that was so old. And the Ottomans are Jerusalem's more modern inhabitants... :D I'm going to love it here.
