The Dome of the Rock is gorgeous in the morning light...
...especially up close! The outside is covered with colored tiles and all sorts of geometric and floral designs; images of people or animals are forbidden in Islam. If only it were still open to the public-- it's only been closed within the past few years, so we just missed it!
I really do love the Western Wall, though; it's one of my absolute favorite places in the city. Yesterday Jenna and Megan and I just went and spent close to an hour there, just sitting and watching and thinking. And I absolutely loved it.
These cute twin boys were looking up at the wall with their mom and getting just a tiny bit fidgety-- reminded me of my brothers in church ;)
Can't wait until you can narrate each of these pictures for us in person. Miss you so much! Love the photo of the Dome through the arches.... never seen it from that angle before. xoxoxoxoxo
