I got to spend a good chunk of my day in the city today. Thank goodness for it too, I've been in the center for a couple days in a row and I begin to feel like a hermit in its shell if I don't go out. We went to see the Tomb of King David (which really isn't what the name suggests) and to the Church of Peter. I really enjoyed the St. Peter Church, it was so well kept and beautifully designed. They tell the stories of Peter's life in mosaics and statues. They've incorporated the old church with the new one in a very clean and nice way and the place was just packed with symbolism. Overall it just had a good peaceful feeling about it that not all of the sites we visit do.
This wall...is from the 1st Temple Period. We were just walking randomly in the streets and we found stairs that led to it! Awesome.
hehehe, 7 to eleven. Gotta love this place, best ice cream ever after hiking back up the Kidron Valley
