Another trip to the Old City.

This past weekend Ryan, Marrisa and I went to the Old City for some more exploring. Trust me, there's so much to see in this city. Sometimes I wonder even if an entire semester will be enough to see everything that Jerusalem offers. Not to mention the rest of Israel of even the surrounding area.

Now to the pictures. This is the other dome inside the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.



Next, we took a short walk over to the Church of the Redeemer.



After paying the price of 5 shekels ($1.25), we were able to climb to the top of the tower and look out over the entire Old City. The spiral staircase was incredibly tiny and it took forever to get to the top, but it was totally worth it.

Here you can see the two domes of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre from the outside. Yes, it's really buried that deep within the city. It's architectural beauty is definitely found on the inside considering you can't really see the outside.



If you look closely on the left side of the picture you're able to see my apartment complex on the horizon. And on the right side is Hebrew University. Yes, I walk that every day.



This is to hopefully put the Western Wall in relation to Dome of the Rock. In case you were wondering, Dome of the Rock is that big shiny gold dome. If you follow the line of trees coming out from the right side you will see a blue roof. Right next to that is the Western Wall.



I hope you've enjoyed this round of pictures. Ryan and I have so much more exploring to do. Garden of Gethsemane, David's City, Western Wall Tunnels, David's City Tunnels, just to name a few and that's only Jerusalem. Many more pictures are yet to come, so be ready.

Take Care.
