Wow - what a day! We begain our walking tour of the Old City of Jerusalem! It was amazing. Our tour guide, Diko showed us such aweome sights. We entered the city at Herod's Gate. The day was beautiful; sunny and warm. We visited St. Anne's church where we sang Hallelujah and listened to a woman singing "How Great Thou Art" - it was so inspiring. Then we walked the Via Dolorosa (meaning the way of suffering). We walked the way of the stations of the cross. We saw the tomb of Mary. Many other sights before we headed back to our hotel for happy hour and dinner. We are tired out from all the walking - we sure got our 10,000 steps in today!
Again at sunset we heard the Muslim call to prayer over the city. It is such an amazing place and so much more peaceful than we are led to believe back home. What a walking tour!
Hello to all. Mom and I attended West Plains Thanksgiving service this morning. All was festive and a meaning service. "You" were highlighted many times throughout the service! We have enjoyed the blog so far and look forward to hearing about your next chapter of adventures! Marion and Shelley
