Scott came to visit arriving around noon Thurs. July 17. We had the Claytons and Nickles give the afternoon tours and headed out with Scott into the Old City. First stop was the Western Wall. It is called that because it is the Western Wall of the original temple mount. It is the spot that is closest to where the original Holy of Holies had been.
This is a cabinet that contains some Torah Scrolls at the Western Wall. We had never noticed it before. I'm not sure why it was there.
We then walked into the Armenian Quarter. Scott spoke Armenian to the guard and we were escorted back to their private church where a service was conducted while we were there.

This is the young man that showed us around. He and Scott conversed in Armenian.
