Jerusalem

This past week we went on a day trip to Jerusalem. This was my first time in Jerusalem, but certainly won't be my last. We had a really cool tour guide named Ron, who I would describe as an Israeli Pauly Shore. It was really difficult to retain all of the biblical knowledge that he dropped on us and I don't want to bore everyone with historical facts so I'll just tell you a couple things. Jerusalem is really really fucking old and really important to the Jews, Christians, and Muslims. I'm sure this is news to everyone. There is so much history and so much to see in this city, so I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.
