On our first full day in Jerusalem we ventured out to Hezekiah's tunnel first thing in the morning. This was a very fun activity and required water shoes and wading through water up to our thighs in the 1,500-foot-long tunnel. A few times we had everyone in the group turn off their flashlights and it was complete darkness, you couldn't even see your hand in front of your face. One time we sang Lead, Kindly Light in the darkness, the sound of it throughout the tunnel was pretty awesome.
After the tunnel we headed out to Jericho, stopping along the way to see the original road between Jerusalem and Jericho.
After dinner that night we ventured out to the Western Wall of the temple to observe as the Jewish people celebrated the start of their Sabbath which goes from sun down on Friday to sun down on Saturday. It's pretty impressive the way they are so excited about observing the Sabbath every week and the celebration that ensues at the Western Wall.

How come you still have good hair? Even in the middle of nowhere!! It just doesn't seem fair.
It looks like an amazing trip! Looks like you are definitely making the most of your free time before work.
