Jerusalem Day 3

Today we started out with something else new for E & D. They had never gone geocaching before so we did that in Jerusalem. We found the hidden cache right next to a plaza called Bush Plaza--no lie. It was made in honor of Israel's friend G W Bush and we made the Bushes' photo there. I had a "travel bug" to drop off that I had found in a New Mexico cache. Of course our comedian David was disappointed the cache did not contain cash.



 Charles drove us up to Mount of Olives and dropped us off. He returned our rental car while the rest of our "tour group" took pictures of the city and then walked down the route Jesus would have taken when traveling from Mary, Lazarus, and Martha's house to the Temple. We ended up in the Garden of Gethsemane.



We spent the next few hours walking around in the Old City. We prayed at the Western Wall for our friends and families---some of you for sure. We mortals are dog tired but you know who is at the Y working out for a couple of hours before dinner.
