Jerusalem: Part 2

After having toured through the Old City from 9am-6pm, Rina, our tour guide, brought us to one last amazing place: the top of Mt. Scorpus! Wow, what an amazing view! From the top, we were fortunate enough to get a clear view of the Old City and gain a different perspective of where we spent the entire day. The sun was close to setting, and the wind and cold air was moving in, which was a nice contrast to the blazing sun we had all day! After a few descriptions of the sites and multiple group photos, we climbed into the van and made our way to the hotel.

After a fairly good-sized nap (or a few chapters of a good book), we headed down to the main lobby to meet up with the De Stefano's and walked to a little restaurant two minutes from the hotel. We enjoyed a great italian meal along with great laughs and stories.

By 11pm, we are all settled in our rooms for the night, anxious for what tomorrow may bring!
