The Rockefeller, Dome of the Rock, and Tomb of the Kings

After Olive Harvest on Sunday we ate a quick lunch and then went out into the city! It was such a productive day. 

First we went to the Rockafeller Museum which had some really cool ancient archeological findings. 

With the gang! (Danielle, Marianna, Sygni, Christeen, Mckenzie, Meagan, Jessica, Grace, Abby, and Thomas)

Then we went to the Dome of the Rock! I've been here over 6 weeks and finally made it to the Dome. 

Inside the complex looking north at the Dome. 
My Dome of the Rock Instagram picture :) 

Up close - look at the beautiful Byzantine ceramic tile design!

Dome selfie with Abby!

After the Dome we went to the Tomb of the Kings, an ancient burial site.
You can see the entrance to the tombs on the bottom right-hand corner of this picture. 


It was a bit dark in there...

Here's a pic of Grace laying in one of the tombs chiseled out of rock. 

Here's one of Thomas, Christeen, Grace, and I telling spooky stories :) Halloween is coming up soon after all!

This one had better lighting :)

It was a very productive day!
