sleeping - Holy Sepulcher - giant lunch - and commence to Jordan

This morning i slept in- and it was good. Then i listened to some music - and it was good. Then i walked through the old city - it was calm and thus, it was good. I spent some time in the Holy Sepulcher as many of the picture i took the first few days might have been eaten by my sd card in my camera. Luckily i got better pictures today than i had gotten before. Here they are...
above the sepulcher
some cool candles- the amount of stone work in this place still blows me away. Every niche and corner is ornate and beautiful.

that is neat

After the church, i walked a few blocks away and saw a sign advertising roof top coffee- maybe i should move here. Below is my empty coffee cup - which was good - and you can see the two domes of the Holy Sepulcher behind the Islamic minaret. Finding myself back at the hotel i went with some friends to find local food- dont worry, we were successful. And the local lunch is gigantor- yum yum. Lamb and chicken on skewers, humus, pita, rice, many indistinguishables of varying yuminess, and good service.

From here we met back at the JUC for the exit/traveling/graduation meeting. Sad but the time is almost over, and we will all go our separate ways. There were many directions for interacting with the shuttle drivers to the airports, security in the airport and whatnot. We then received certificates of completion and cried (okay, i didnt cry, but someone else probably did).

The schedule from here is this: those traveling to Jordan will need to be on the bus at 6am (boo); we will spend the next three days in Jordan; those not going to Jordan will have another free day in the city and most will leave for the airport at 1am.

so after our little commencement ceremony, i commence to Jordan. ready to be hot, thirsty and looking at really old interesting stuff.
