The Garden Tomb

Part of Jerusalem's Corridor, a market street in the Roman period
Me with Mormon Frenz at the Western Wall
So this weekend involved loads of touring... and not enough studying I am afraid! I have my first vocab quiz this morning and am feeling a touch less prepared than I would like to be, but oh well! On Friday I visited the old city with a group from the International School and then went to dinner at the Moriah Hotel (amaaaaazing). Then on Shabbat, I went to church at the BYU Jerusalem Center, where the BYU Summer term students arrived sometime last week, and which may be one of the most beautiful buildings built this century. I loved it. Afterwards, some friends and I met up with a woman named Teresa who will be studying at Hebrew U for 2 weeks for a course about Responses to Trauma in Terrorist Attacks (sounds immensely interesting, no?) and she happened to have a rental car and free time, so she drove us all around Jerusalem! It was so RAD. So anyway, here are some photos.
