Friday we went to Grotto in the Church of Nativity, and saw
the manger and where Jesus was born which was awesome. Next we went to a
Bedouin Village and had lunch there, which was my favorite part of the day.
Then we went to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, which was weird and also
cool. Today we went to Galilee. First we went to Nazareth and saw the Roman
Catholic Church of the Annunciation, that was also really cool. Next we went to Capernaum where we saw Peter’s
house. We also saw a 4th century synagogue which is like a 4th
century church. After lunch we went on a boat in the sea of Galilee. Tonight we
are still staying in the same hotel in Bethlehem.
Saturday we went to the
Mount of Olives I could see the entire Old City of Jerusalem, and it’s so cold
up there. Then we hiked down it into the Old City, but we stopped at the Garden
of Gethsemane which is where Jesus sweated blood and prayed to take the cup
from him. Then we hiked the whole way down, and walked through the Old City.
Next we went down to street level in Jesus time. After that we went to the
Church of the Holy Sepulcher again and saw some cool art and mosaics. Then we
went to dinner which was a Bedouin restaurant called the tent I had a mixed grill which is like lamb mixed with
beef with a side of chicken. After that
we said bye to the part of the group that was not going to Jordan. Now we are
packing to leave Bethlehem tomorrow.
