On Saturday Carl and I took a trip to Jerusalem to explore the Old City and see some sites.
We were able to see the Western Wall, though no pictures down near it as it was Shabbat. We also went to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher which is where tradition states is "Calvary" or Golgotha where Jesus was nailed to the cross, as well as where his tomb was. For an interesting account of the church, go to the Wikipidia entry for the
Church of the Holy Sepulcher
Here are some photos from that trip.
