Tomb of the Kings and Slacking the Line

Today I went out into the city after breakfast with a group of wonderful people from the Center. We started off by visiting the Tomb of the Kings which is this incredible site on private property in East Jerusalem. The spot is thought to be the burial site of Queen Helena of Adiabene. We played sardines and sang using the amazing acoustics in the tomb.

Then we wandered around the Old City and visited some shops and churches.

After that we set up a slack line outside of the New Gate in West Jerusalem. Slack lining was awesome. We had so many people stop and laugh as we took turns trying to walk the line. Then we had Jews and Palestinians alike try it out. It was neat to see the two groups together in the same spot having a good time.

  1. Scarlett did not know who the ghost was in the tomb. I told her.She said,"You look very creepy!"
    She also wondered how to spell creepy, so I helped her write this.
