Jewish men running through Damascus gate in the old city. We saw a lot of them running and I am guessing it was because they were headed through the Muslim quarter of the old city.
This is what the typical street looks like in the old city. Except this was early in the morning so all the shops were still closed.
These are little Jewish boys who were playing soccer in the streets of the Jewish quarter in the old city.
This is on the rampart wall surrounding the entire old city. If you are wondering what the bulge under my shirt on my stomach is, it is the pouch I carry my money in so people don't steal it. The fanny pack is also in front to make it harder for pick pocketers.
We are on the wall of the old city and the view behind us is of Western Jerusalem which is the nicer, newer part of Jerusalem.
In the Old city. Basically everyone knows who we are because a lot of the stores we pass by we hear people say "Ah, Mormons" or "hello Mormons."
This is us with some of the army members in the old city.
The stone of anointing, believed to be the spot where Joseph of Arimathea prepared Jesus' body for burial. A lot of these places and things are just tradition so nobody knows for sure.

"But to my dad? To Chad?" Oh my word Aubs, I sure do miss you, but I'm glad you're living it up in Jerusalem. Keep making Sister Dalton proud!
