Taking a look at Jerusalem

We didn't spend all of our time at memorial services. We also visited the scenes of several battles and even some biblical sites.

This one is the group standing on top of Nabi Samwill. This was one of the tough battles alongside the British forces that brought about the conquest of Jerusalem by General Allenby. It also overlooks the valley of Gibbea where Joshua began the battle which ended after Joshua asked God to cause the sun to stand still.


What tour would be complete without a group photo on the Mount of Olives. They weren't quite ready yet in this photo because they were waiting for instructions from the professional photographer and not paying attention to the tour guide. (Good choice occasionally.)
