Everywhere you go...

...there's always someone Jewish. Yes, a great song and applicable to Jerusalem but actually, one of things that I find really amazing about Jerusalem is that "everywhere you go," there are ancient pieces of history. Yesterday afternoon, Ethan and I took a walk over to the Tayelet. The Tayelet is a promenade in Talpiot with fantastic views of Jerusalem. The weather was also clear enough to see to Jordan. It was so peaceful to stroll through the olive trees and see so many others taking advantage of the great weather as well. As we climbed to the top of the hill, we came to a sign post that explained that we were standing at the spot where Abraham first saw Mt. Moriah on his journey there to sacrifice Isaac. I went back to the Tayelet on my run this morning...it's still a bit surreal to see the Old City with the glistening Dome of the Rock as I ran and I want to keep reminding myself how unique the experience of living here is.

In other news, Ethan did an amazing job posting pictures of our trip on his blog so those out at http://kotel6.blogspot.com
