Israel - Day 7 - January 5, 2012

We began othe day, once again, at the Jersusalem Overlook. Next, it was on to the old city and inside the walls through the Lion's Gate. We then proceeded to the Pool of Bethesda. I shared a devotional at the site... One of the highlights of my trip.

From there we went to the Temple Mount. This is under Muslim control. You can see the place that the Temple stood from the time of Soloman. The Dome of the Rock is an impressive Muslim structure from 617AD. I'm sure the archeological remains there, if we were allowed to dig, would be substantial.

Off to lunch at the Aroma coffee shop. Aroma is like Starbucks with better food. Afterward, we spent the afternoon at the Holocost Mueseum. This was a powerful, heavy afternoon trip remembering the Jews who were slaughtered through Hitler's regime.

Back to the hotel... I'm so tired... but it's a good tired!
