City of David

Sorry for not posting for a while. Things have been really busy. And the internet is being picky, so those Egypt pictures might have some more waiting before they become visible. Sorry.

On Monday we went to the City of David. It was really cool. We started off with a video presentation giving a brief history of the City. Of course, it was in 3-D. Even historical parks have given in to the 3-D gimmick. At least it was decent 3-D. Pigeons flying in your face and stuff. Then we got on a tower to look at it from above. We got to see what was probably part of David's palace. Next to that were a few houses and a toilet seat from about 600 BC. Then we went down to the Gihon Spring and walked through Hezekiah's Tunnel. The water was not as deep as I had expected. It was really fun.

This Sunday we're going to go to Eilat to go snorkeling in the Red Sea. That will be lots of fun. Then on Monday we're going to Israel's Holocaust museum. It should be really good.
