a good name

Today was the most beautiful and sunny day since we've been here, and it was our first full day off. So my friend Jason and I headed up to the Dome of the Rock and Al-Aksar mosque on the Temple Mount. The entire compound is called "The Mosque of Omar" which is not to be confused with the actual mosque across from the Church of the Holy Sepulcher named "The Mosque of Omar." And none of this is to be confused with "Omar Square," which is where our hotel is located.



We are heading out at sunrise tomorrow for a four day field-trip to Galilee, and from what I hear we won't have internet access. I hope to have more pictures and relflections on our time here when we get back. So stay tuned, and until next time... Salaam, Shalom, Peace.
