Mount of Olives and Wadi Qelt




Visited the Israel Museum which hosts a miniature model of Old City in the Second Temple period, and the original dead sea scrolls.

Joined a tour of the Mount of Olives to see Jesus' Ascension Chapel, Pater Noster (Our Father) church, Jewish cemetery, and the Garden of Gethsemane.

The following day, we went up Wadi Qelt in Jericho with a group formed online. I saved taking pictures after the beginning of the hike, only to find out my hands would be full from grasping rocks and bamboo branches mid-hike. Our last stop was a very relaxing place but one I didn't find very picturesque, so there.

Back to work tomorrow.

Stations of the Cross




Drich and I walked the actual stations of the cross and visited Jesus' crucifixion church at Old City Jerusalem.

We also joined a free tour of the other 3 quarters in the Old City, namely Armenian, Jewish and Muslim.
