MY UNCLE IS IN ISRAEL!

I usually wouldn't do this, but some of these pictures are so cool. My uncle is in Isreal right now developing software for a company. He's been using the weekends to travel around and take pictures. I thought it was worth posting them. Enjoy!

The Wailing Wall
An old city street. Just like me, Larry has an affinity of going places he shouldn't be. He doesn't think he was supposed to be here, but he took a picture anyway
Larry standing next to olive trees that are 2000+ years old in Jerusalem. For you Christianity buffs, that means there is a possibility that they were standing when Jesus walked the earth. This pic was taken on top of the Mount of Olives. There aren't too many trees left up there, but there is a garden preserving them.
Here's a pic of King Solomon's Temple. Above the temple is the Mount of Olives. This pic is just to the right of the Wailing Wall.

All of the above pictures were taken by Larry Witt. None of them were taken by myself. I can only hope for an opportunity like this to come my way after I graduate.

peace
