The beginings

So I have been getting harassments on all sides to see pictures. So I decided to start a blog. Kinda fun. Jerusalem is amazing and I cannot believe all the amazing history I am learning. It is so intense. Today was Yam Kipurr for the Jewish religion. It is the day of Atonement. Anciently it was the day that they would take their sacrifices to the temple to be forgiven of all their sins the previous year. But it has become something very different, especially without their temple (that they believe will one day be rebuilt.... only problem is that the Dome of the Rock sits on the temple mount. It is the third most sacred place to Muslims.) Anyways because it was this holiday we were not aloud to leave the center because of potential danger. There where police camera blimps above the old city to watch and make sure nothing happens. Well tomorrow we are off to Egypt! CRAZY!! I will keep you posted!
