Anne Marie, Kevin, and Blaine walked into the Old City.
On Al Aqsa, we visited with a group of Muslim men who were studying the Koran. They study every day until about 2:00 pm. They were very friendly and willing to talk with us.
We walked through the Jewish cemetery on the hillside opposite Al Aqsa.
A little too bright for Kevin.
Let's try a different pose
Ok, we can see Kevin peeking through those eyelids now.
16 years after Anne Marie and Jon studied there and Linda, Scott, and Blaine visited in 1997.
Shaban took us to the roof of the Greek Orthodox Church overlooking Church of the Holy Sepulchre.
Bishop Garn and Char were visiting Belnaps, so we all had the opportunity to be on the roof. Shaban is Muslim but he has good relations with the Greek Orthodox Church. He walked us right in.
Entrance of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.
The bell ringers started ringing the bells in the tower right next to us. They were wearing ear mufflers.
