I am not used to the food yet so my stomach has been upset. Today we just relaxed and stayed at home. I talked to My family who are visiting Israel as well and I will meet up with them either on monday or Wednesday in Jerusalem. I Made a mistake and put the dome of the rock picture with the lable of El-azek mosque which was wrong....Oops. Today I have learned that we cannot go visit many historic towns because they are not safe for jewish people. Some of these places are Hebron, Bethlehem (where you can visit the place where Jesus was supposedly born), Jericho (which is the oldest city in the world), and many other places. I am very disapointed and I want to go anyway, but I understand that my and Adams safety are the most important thing. As a matter of fact I think it is forbiden for the Jewish people of Israel to go to Jericho (dont quote me : ) )
