Walking the Wall

Today we climbed the Old City walls and walked around. It was so interesting to see the different parts of the city from above. We also had our first "experience": we got flashed by a boy while we were walking around. We didn't feel threatened-he was about 10-but some of the girls still freaked out.
A few days ago we spent the beginning of Shabbot (the Sabbath) at the Western Wall, the most holy sight for Jews in the world. It was so interesting to see how excited these people get over the Sabbath day. They were singing and dancing around and rocking back and forth as they prayed at the wall. The men and women have to stand in different sections so the women don't "distract." I sang and danced with one group and made all kinds of Hebrew friends. Most of the people here speak at least a little English, so we get by really well.

This is me with some of the kids who play soccer outside the center all the time (and their puppies). The one on the right is Besom and the ones on the left are Muhammad and Ali. No joke.

The rest are just pictures of the walls, some of the City of David. And there's one of our home sweet home!
