Bethlehem Field Trip: this is shepherds field

View of Bethlehem from Shepherds Field

Just some fun with the city's night lights!

Olive Picking: Black olives produce more oil but less quality, Green olives produce less oil but higher qaulity FYI.

A great friend of mine here, Neil Reed had a brilliant idea to bury Brother Judd's daughter Amanda in the Olives.

Neil and I just pickin away.

The sunsets we can never get away from here.

We took a tour of the Western Wall underground. A very small portion of the Western Wall (as seen below) is only visible today. Most of it is now covered up by Muslim homes who built their houses up against the wall as close to the temple as they could. This picture shows the one spot underground that is closest to the temple mount where we see Jewish woman praying.

Western Wall at night. This place changes in sight and in feeling every time I see it.

Playing the YMCA bells! The Squires here allow the students to come play the tower bells for 300,000 people to here. Mikele and I were able to play a couple songs for the city. No big deal. (The bells are above us, so when we push down on the handles, the cords going up to the ceiling pull and ring the bells.

Classy West Jerusalem - Adri, this is the new addition of the light rail down this road.

Just one small piece of Herod's many palaces. This is a pool here, complete with an island in the middle. Behind me is the Herodian, where Herod is buried in his palace.
