Tour: More Jerusalem

Today was wonderful for all of us! We spent about seven hours wandering around the Old City of Jerusalem. The first stop was the Dome of the Rock.


We also saw the Church of the Holy Sepulchre:


The Wailing Wall:


And so many other things! It was very hot and we were very tired, but it was also really great!


Eventually, we ended up at the BYU Jerusalem Center. It is a very beautiful facility and the views of the city are stunning.



The Jerusalem Center was very kind in hosting us. They gave us a tour, let us hear the organ, and fed us. The students there were also nice. (Healing a rivalry one concert at a time!) Our concert in the hall there was completely full and, as we have enjoyed this entire tour, spectacularly well received. All of us had a fantastic time and would like to express our sincere thanks to the people of the BYU Jerusalem Center for their hospitality.

As the tour winds to an end, we'll have our last concert tomorrow in Ein Geddi. If you've missed us so far but you'll be in the area, we hope to see you there!
