Mount of Olives

Mount of Olives is such a breath"stopping" place!! I was speechless to see the surrounding scenery! We walked from the Jaffa Gate all the way to the top of Mount of Olives where Jesus is said to have raised from the very spot. The hill was steep, downhill and uphill!!

Join with us by browsing through these beautiful pictures!

Wall of the Old City of Jerusalem (northeast side)
Now, this picture is interesting! We were down by Absalom's Pillar looking up toward the wall. You can't see the city at all! It was mind-blowing!
