Hello everyone. I have a bit of time now to post some pictures before we leave for a few days and head up north. We have been very busy. Below are some pictures from Bethlehem...




Today we headed up to Bethany to "Lazarus' tomb". Below are some ruins from an old Crusader tower, the next picture is mom in the tomb.

We walked from Bethany to the Mount of Olives. This is where we came out of Bethany -- the hole in the security wall (you can see the Israeli soldiers keeping watch)

I thought this picture was funny because it looks posed -- but it's not...

We stopped for a rest on top of the Mount of Olives and showed Mom and Dad the view...

This was the Palm Sunday procession that we took part in for fun. It was a long hike up and down the Mount of Olives with a huge number of people (the crowd went all the way up the hill, round the corner and up the hill some more) They are expecting 90,000 people to visit Jerusalem this week...

I guess that's all I have time for now, more after Galilee...
