Detailed tiles on the Dome of the Rock.
Dome of the Rock. You can see it from almost anywhere in the city.
Unfortunately, for the last few years it has been closed to visitors.
View from the mount.
We climbed up on a city wall to see what we could see. Until we got yelled at in a language we couldn't understand!It wasn't our fault. There weren't any signs or ropes or anything!
The "Golden Gate"According to Jewish tradition, this is the gate where the Messiah will enter into Jerusalem.
It saw sealed off in 1541 by a Ottaman Sultan to try to prevent him from entering.
Yeah, I think a sealed gate would stop him!

I'm sad to admit that I don't know the story behind the temple. I feel like I should. Way Cool though!
The babe is still nameless but we do like Jayne a lot! Who knows. Love you and miss you. Can't wait for you to get home!
There's so much I don't know (or have forgotten!) Thanks for helping me learn something new about a part of the world I don't ever think about:) When do you guys get back?
