Thursday, October 17, 2013 Picking olives

We hosted tours today.  Not many people came.  I took a few more pictures around the grounds of the Jerusalem Center.  The students picked olives today in preparation for making olive oil next week.
 Linda and I went into the Old City to find the Armenian Tavern - a restaurant Scott might like to visit when he comes. On the way out of the city, we stopped at Our Savior Church and listened to an organ concert for 1/2 hour.  We left early because we are asked to be out of East Jerusalem before dark.

This is the entrance to the garage which is on the 7th level of the Jerusalem Center.  The Center owns several cars.  We pay $100 per month for 400 kilometers of personal use.

Visitors enter the upper gate and see this on their right.

 Visitors enter the upper gate and walk along this path to the main entrance of the Jerusalem Center.

This is a pit for crushing grapes, on the grounds of the Center.


Blaine picked a few olives just outside the gates of the Center.
