Bar Mitzvah Day!  Mazel Tov Robbie!

We left early in the morning to head to the Southern Wall in the Old City for the ceremony.  It was truly an experience and extra special.  Will and I were glad we could join in. 

After lunch at Beit Ticho (delicious), we headed back to the Old City to explore the reconstructed Jewish quarters and the Cardo again.  We then headed to the Western Wall to place our notes in the cracks so that they may better heard.  Afterward, since there was still time, we visited a few of the stations of the cross.  It was then on to see the spot closest to "Holiest of the Holies" as it is called.  A spot on the wall  that is as close as you can get to the original temple, built upon the rock that is believed to be the corner stone of the beginning.  It is now under a Mosque called the "Dome of the Rock".  A few notes were left to stick in this part of the wall.  The rest of the wall not seen outside was actually buried under hundreds of years of Arab and crusader architecture.  In those times you didn't take it down, you simply built on top of it.
