The happenin'

Sunday (which is like our saturday cuz we have the Sabbeth on Saturday)
We went to the Kotel, Western Wall, and we went down in a tunnel under the old city. It was EPIC! the tunnel was escavated right outside the ancient wall and it follows the ancient road that ran along the wall. It was so rad we were walking under peoples houses it was crazy! At one point our tour guide stopped us at a sealed of entrance that went under the Temple mount. A couple years ago the Jews led a classified operation and broke through this entrance and was searching for the lost Ark of the Covenant. That was until the outraged Arabs found out about it and sealed it off.

But seriously there is a group of Orthodox jews who started preperations for the return of the 3rd temple. Let me just tell you this is a radical movement.
It would be like if midgets took over the white house.
whoa. crazy. like i said radical.

They have a giant golden monorah 8ft tall. Priestly robes that coast $50 a strand. Shew bread tables. An alter that they have practiced sacrifices on. Musical instraments. Its legit- like a cheese sandwich. I cannot believe it haha it was the coolest fanatical thing i have ever witnessed.

We went to check out St. James church a Greek orthodox church-the oldest in Jerusalem. We made friends with Theoausses. He's the priest there. Such a charming guy. He explained to us some of his beliefs and showed us how he makes these prayer braclets. Its a crazy cross method. But I really wanted one so he is going to make me one-they usually cost $15! Theoausses is also a cook at a monestary he cooks greek food and invited us to come eat sometime.
