Went to where the Last Supper most likely took place.
Gethsemane
Had sacrament meeting at the Jerusalem Center. I was surprised to see families there, but I guess there are people who have jobs in or near Jerusalem that take them there. Also a hard place to listen to the speakers because of the view out the window. This is what they see during sacrament meeting.
Roman stairs that Christ most likely walked his last day.
We ate at the Yummy Corner and I have to say it was sure Yummy. I had this bread with a pizza inside minus the sauce. It was nice to finally get to choose where we got to eat. Everyday we were taken to places that only served shawarma's or falafel's and I didn't care for the taste of either. I wouldn't care if I never saw pita bread again.
Golgotha
The Garden Tomb. The feeling here was much different then the Church of the Holy Sepluchre. The Garden Tomb is another location that many churches believe Christ was crucified and buried. This place definitely had a much more reverent feel to it and was so peaceful. This ended the last day of Christs life along with the last day of our tour.
We caught our plane to head back home at midnight. By time we arrived back in Utah I figured I had only slept about 3 hours in a total of 41 hours. I felt sick and nauseous and so tired. My poor kids who were so excited to see us. I tried staying awake once I got home but I couldn't make it any longer and decided I would just shut my eyes for a few minutes. Four hours later my kids were trying to wake me up because they were hungry for dinner and it was already 8:30. Daryl couldn't hold out either and was dead asleep too. I thought I might have a hard time getting back on schedule, but as soon as the kids were asleep I was out again and had the best sleep in a long time.
