Free Day!

Since it was our second to last day here in the wonderful city of Jerusalem, we had a free day. Patrick and I went to Dormition Abbey. As mentioned previously in another blog entry, this is the place where Mary, the Mother of Jesus, supposedly fell asleep and ascended into Heaven.

After walking around the entire chapel and going down into the crypt, we came back to PBI for lunch. Since it was the hottest part of the day, we decided to stay in for a bit and I had the opportunity to take a nap! Around 4pm, we went back into the Old City where we stopped at some shops to buy last minute gifts for friends and family. We had a lovely afternoon and we spent the rest of the day walking to other sites in the Old City such as the Wailing Wall before going back for dinner.

I can't believe I'm leaving in two days!! AHHH!!!
