Day Two

First of all, here is a map of where the Center is. If you just zoom in you'll be able to see it.

The Center is the building right along the bend of of the 1949 Armistice Agreement Line.

So, today we had a walking tour of Jerusalem. We walked from the Center through the Old City to West Jerusalem. We quickly stopped by lots of sites like the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. It was interesting to see the general "Okay..."ness of the Mormons. I thought it was really cool. I look forward to going there again.

On the way out we met a money changer named Aladdin. He gave us these cards that were a dollar bill with his face on them and said "In Aladdin We Trust." He was funny. There were also a lot of other merchants who knew who we were and expressed a great like for us.

We also saw the ceramics shop where the cover for the November 1998 Friend was made.


Well, that's about all for now. Class starts tomorrow. Probably won't have much to say about that. I'll post as interesting things happen.
