Parrots and Pomegranates

I have seen so many places that have sell fresh squeezed pomegranate juice and my mouth just waters.  While we were in the city today, we decided to try some.  They cut the pomegranate in half and squeezed the juice straight in my cup and added nothing else and it was DELICIOUS!  My mouth is watering just thinking about it!  The man had a parrot in his shop so we wanted to get a picture with him.  While I was getting my picture taken, the parrot decided that he thought my juice looked pretty good too so he grabbed my cup and tried to take it!  I got my juice back, but managed to make a mess at the same time--oops...

We found our way to St. Anne's church where the pools of Bethesda are also.  I wasn't sure what to expect, but the ruins were so big and so deep!  It was a beautiful place and very peaceful.  We can't preach while we are here, but we can sing, and the Mormons are well known for singing everywhere.  We were talking with two of the priests with delightful British accents and they insisted we sing for them.  The cathedral had beautiful acoustics and made up for our lack of skill.  It's neat to make friends with people all over the world who share a love for Jesus Christ.
