Today we only had 3 hours of class with a SEVEN hour break in between! So what did we do with our free time? Certainly not clean our rooms or do homework or blog (sorry about that), but we went to play in the city!
I had my first falafel which didn’t disappoint!
We went back to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher (a church originally built my Constantine in the 4th century CE and then rebuilt by the crusaders during the 1100s approximately to commemorate the death and burial of Christ). There were people from all over the world including Mexico and Morocco. Right next door to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher is the Church of the Redeemer so we went inside. For a few shekels we were able to climb 178 stairs to the top and saw a great view of the city. There were some Muslim girls around 12 or 13 I’d say with balloons and glitter. They were very excited to get their picture taken with David, so we jumped in too. I think it was one of the girl’s birthdays. They were loud and giggly just like any group of 13 year old girls would be back home, just dressed differently. We also met some women part of some Christian convent (I didn’t catch what exactly) from Austria.
