Jerusalem

When we decided to take a side trip to Jerusalem it was a last minute decision, but it turned out to one of the more interesting experiences. From the history, the beauty and the city itself it was amazing. However some the things we saw in regards to the treatment of the Palestinians and hearing directly from the Jordanian people it was eye opening. That coupled with a scary situation at the border that involved gunfire and a total lock down made us question our decision to go there. However it was great to see the Western Wall, Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Mount of Olives and the Temple Mount. I still find it amazing that so many religions call this their homeland, but still can't find a way to get along.
