Well this past week has literally been the most stressful week this trip, we have had 4 midterms and 5 finals this week. This has been my schedule this week:
Arise from my warm bed.
Eat a muffin, cereal, and OJ.
Go to class.
Go to another class.
Listen to annoucements.
Eat lunch.
Go to another class.
Seclude myself in my room for quiet study time. (usually involves falling asleep)
Go to the student lounge. Study.
Study, Study and more Study.
Go to dinner.
Go study.
Study in my bed.
Write in my journal.
Pass out in my bed out of pure exahustion. (def. not physical exhaustion)
Repeat.
But I have never regretted coming, normally you have one week of cram packed studying but this semester there is 2 and it is just VERY tiring.

However I have started to get Cabin fever so after church I originally was just going to go on a walk but we ended going some pretty cool places. This is me sitting on Domunus Flevit, this is supposedly where Christ laments over the wicked city of Jerusalem. This is where the "O, Jerusalem O Jerusalem" Greg Olson picture is based. It was a gorgeous day and it had a great look over the city of Jerusalem, of course. Any where really its gorgeous!
There are many places that different religions think that Christ ascended into heaven. I think their 3 churchs designated to it at believe that is where it is. We went to all 3 of them. The tallest one is the Russian Orthodox Church. The grounds were gorgeous. The Bell Tower is one of the 3 tallest towers in Jerusalem that can be seen from far way. The other two are the Hebrew Communications tower and Augusta Victoria. This is a group of sitting at the base of this slightly leaning tower.Arise from my warm bed.

According to Lorenzo Snow, the place of ascension was 75 ft. away from the tower, this is the place. Its gated in and has weeds growing all over the place.
***NO biblical place ever has a definite spot. except if the church says. :)

I'm so glad you're able to get out and about. What a beautiful part of the world. And by the way, your dress is really pretty too.
