Hezekiah's Tunnel by Candle Light

Today was super fun. We got a small group together to go down Hezekiah's tunnel a second time, but this time we did it by the light of small oil lamps. Way fun:) I didn't expect it to work as well as it did and it was really enjoyable to be in a small group so we could stop and play as we desired. Startling each other in the dark is a truly fantastic means of  entertainment and we discovered that the excellent acoustics make it easy to conjure up creepy voices for all to hear :D After we had our fun in the tunnels we hiked back up the valley and visited the Tomb of the Prophets. We were really fortunate because it turned out that it was supposed to be closed on Sundays but there was a man there that was willing to let us in if we gave him a donation. We were happy to do so and enjoyed exploring the tombs with the candles that he let us use. Today's involved a lot of fire, dark caves and exploring, so definitely a good day in my book!
