we stayed away from the Old City today, because sometimes Friday prayers on the Temple Mount can lead to unrest. But there were enough police staging to go into the city to invade Grenada.
We did a special lunch in a small town to the west named Abu Ghosh, well known for their food. It was fantastic!
The last part of the day was a visit to the Elah Valley, a place where Israel and the Philistines fought for control of the cities of the lower hills. Here we remembered the battle of David and Goliath and saw how the topography fit perfectly with the Biblical story.
One final half-day of touring tomorrow. Then some free time and a 1 am run to the airport Sunday morning (ugh).
