Day 15 - part 1

We started our day out at the Jerusalem Center. It was a Saturday - the Jewish Sabbath. Here
we join in and celebrate the Sabbath also. This is a beautiful facility!

The chapel - what a backdrop for Sacrament Meeting!

This was our delightful Baptist couple from Georgia. They were totally delightful and very popular because of their goodness and joy. They said that they love traveling with Mormons because we don't get into trouble.

One our our fellow travelers demonstrating the use of one of the olive presses - used in the step to smash the olives.

After we finished with church, we hopped back on the buses and made a mad dash for the border. We had been told to be there by noon. We don't know why noon was so important. But they didn't want to upset the border guards. We are not allowed to take photos of the border. But it was much easier to leave Israel than it is to get in. We had to unload all of our luggage to get X-rayed. Then had to identify our luggage and get it loaded onto Jordanian buses. Everyone had to give our guide, Joseph, and our bus drivers a big hug good bye. They were great guys.
