~ Highlight of the Day: Listening to the most amazing Cello/Guitar duet ever ~
Drats. I don't think you can see this very well. . . I'll have to get a better image of it.
Instead of doing my homework yesterday I talked in the computer lab and doodled on
the back of a Palestine textbook (Neil's, to be specific :)
It's of me, Madison, and Alyssa in the desert.
Today we visited the Russian Orthodox Church of Mary Magdalene. It's absolutely beautiful inside and out. The grounds are fabulous, and the designs inside are so intricate and amazing. And it's got big golden onions on top. . . who can beat that? :)
Ever since I worked with chrysanthemums this summer I've become hyper-aware of them. I can't resist giving them special attention, and the exclamation, "Oh! a Chrysanthemum!" escapes my lips every time. I think it's because I cut, and rooted and potted thousands of the things, but didn't get to see any of them bloom. . . speaking of which - Longwood Gardens should be in the middle of displaying all those Chrysanthemums right now. As much as I'm absolutely loving Jerusalem, a part of me desperately wants to be back at my internship. . . I'm missing so much!
We also went to the tomb of the kings down in the Kidron valley. . . at least I think it was the tomb of the kings. Maybe it was one of two places with that name? I've been to a 'Tomb of the Prophets'. . .
There are a lot of cool old tombs. . .
We ended today with an amazing formal talent show. Music is great :)
