Today we had a very busy exploring Jerusalem. We started of going to the Mount of Olives, the Garden of Gethsmane, Church of Saint Mark (location of last supper), King Davids tomb and the Western wall. Every inch of Jerusalem has some history, be it 1st temple, 2nd temple, Roman, Byzantium, Crusader or Muslim

If I lived in Israel, I would have to be in the army? Weird. Can anyone imagine me with a M16 strapped over my sholder?
I should feel that you are safe or in danger when I see that many people with M16s about.
