Greetings from Jerusalem


I had a very nice opportunity to visit Jerusalem while I have been here in Israel. This is a picture of me hanging out on Mount Scopus overlooking Old Jersusalem.
It doesn't look like much from this picture, but it is rich in history and conflict. Luckily I was able to visit the city just a few days before President Bush arrived. The need for his security has shut the town down.
Our tour guide was a 72-year old guy that was extremely knowledgeable in Biblical history and city sights. If you get a chance to go to Israel, definitely take a tour from a guide. It is more than worth the money.
