Free Day at last!

The Tower of David Citadel Museum (online picture)
The other day we had a lot of free time, so we took that time to go to the city! We went to the Tower of David Citadel Museum which is incorrectly named and has nothing to do with King David. It is actually where Herod the Great built a fortress and where I have heard some people say Jesus was tried. It is now a museum that goes over the history of Jerusalem. It is cool to see Jerusalem's rich history becasue it is such a small piece of land.

Best picture of the day! Me at the museum. I have no idea where this face came from.
The view from the top of the Museum looking towards Mt. Scopus. The BYU Jerusalem Center is the arched building in the distance!
After lunch we ate at an awesome pizza place in the Jewish Quarter called Jacob's Pizza. Its a family owned business and it was fun to talk to them and eat delicious pizza!

My friend Sam and I at Jacob's Pizza by Jaffa Gate.
The rest of the day we walked around the city and went to places we hadn't gone before. We walked through the Jewish quarter and even walked on the rooftops of the buildings in the Jewish quarter. We felt like we were in Aladdin!

Then I bought stuff i didn't need. . . When in Jerusalem, right?!?
