City of David

Another fabulous field trip! We went to the City of David- the site of ancient Jerusalem.
Just south of the Temple Mount. It was a blast!!! Here is a list of things we saw:

1) walls from King David's Palace
2) an old Canaanite toilet seat (a big hit with the boys)
3) Pools of Siloam where Jesus sent the blind man to wash off the clay he put on his eyes to heal him
4) HEZEKIAH'S TUNNEL : once upon a time the Assyrians were coming to attack Jerusalem, so King Hezekiah redid the water system of Jerusalem to protect it. aka make a skinny, narrow, loooong tunnel underneath the city. and we walked through it! the walls were close and the water high. and we went for 45 mins underneath the city.

pure awesomness!!!!! i felt like such an adventurer!
