The Temple Mount!

When I was watching a documentary on Jerusalem with my family, Dave told me to look at the top spire of the Dome of the Rock so I can compare it in person . I saw it Dave!Me and my roommate Lisa. We wore head scarves to increase our chances of getting into the Dome. However, it was to no avail. I guess my blonde hair and blue eyes gave me away.

After wanting to see the Dome of the Rock pretty much ever since I've seen pictures of Jerusalem, I finally went today! It was astounding to see in person. The guards are very careful about how many people they let on, and they have specific hours for visiting. I walked up the scaffolding to the top of the Temple Mount (which is located above the Western Wall), turned the corner, and there was the Dome of the Rock! It was so cool to see it in real life. The tiles are so ornate; the mosque is beautiful. We tried to go inside, but they wouldn't let us because we haven't converted to the "true religion".
