11 May 2007













We went into old Jerusalem in the morning, and it was just stunning. Such a beautiful, old city. The wind, however, was blowing in from the East and filling the air with yellow dust. So it looked hazy and overcast all day. On the up-side, it was cool and pleasant all day too. We started with the traditional site of the Last Supper, then we made our way down 2000 year old steps recently excavated and certainly used by Jesus himself many times as they lead down toward Gethsemane. You can see the red "lillies of the field" are all around, and used in scripture by Christ.
