We took a tour, our 3rd day in Jerusalem, that went through the tunnels under the city along the Western wall. They explained a lot of the history of the Old City. At one part in the tour we had gone pretty far down and they showed us some of the old buildings and the columns that lined the streets during King Herod's reign, It was so exciting to think that, that exact column was standing there and that maybe Jesus touched it as he walked by. It gave me chills.
This is a picture of the wailing wall from above.
Because it is the week of Passover (Pesach) the Jews perform a lot of ceremony's at the wall, they wear their most religious outfits.
This is a view of the auditorium inside the Jerusalem BYU Center. It is one of the most beautiful buildings I have ever seen.

An Olive tree!
This is an olive press the students press the olives in the fall to make olive oil.
This is a camel that was at the Mount of Olives. The kids wanted to ride it so bad.
