Jerusalem Through Pictures

The supposed rock that Satan tempted Christ to turn into bread.

Our GQ Israeli soldier. I might just bring one home with me.
Just kidding, dad.
Atop the Mount of Temptations near Jericho, where Christ was tempted by Satan during his 40 day fast.
Overlooking the city Jericho. It is the oldest city in the world and the lowest city in the world. It's the city Jericho that Joshua conquered.

A group of us just in front of the Wailing Wall. Portions of it are the remnants of Solomon's Temple that the Jews pray to. On Friday afternoon they welcome in the Sabbath by singing, dancing and praying, we were able to go and celebrate with them. It was an amazing experience.
The Garden of Gethsemane. You already know how I feel about this one.
Allison and I in Zedekiah's Cave "carving out the stone" for Solomon's Temple.
The crew overlooking the Old City. This view never gets old. Ever.
The Dome of the Rock. Even more spectacular in real life, the picture just doesn't do it justice.
Allison and I in the Orson Hyde Gardens, just above the Garden of Gethsemane, overlooking the Old City.
Home Sweet Home.
