The Western Wall (formerly the Wailing Wall).	Another view of the Western Wall. The Western Wall is actually the retaining wall for the Temple Mount, not the wall of the temple itself.	Arches built by Herod. That's my roommate on the trip.
A model of the temple and environs at the time of Jesus. The wall behind is also part of the Western Wall.	This 42' long stone is the second largest stone in the world.	Tunnel along the Western Wall.
The Herodian Road (built by Herod obviously).	The Herodian Columns.	Early prototype of core memory. (Sorry, couldn't resist.)
Stones from the temple.	The Dome of the Rock. Christians are no longer allowed to go in so I couldn't see the Foundation Stone of the earth. Which was a bummer, as I learned a lot about it from Scott Hahn.	Base and remains of the towers of Siloam that fell (Luke 13:4)
Recent archeological digs. Note that the dig is inside.	Hezekiah's tunnel and the spring of GIhon.	Look at the funky way this “building” housing the dig is designed. Steel beams sunk into the sides hold up all the scaffolding.
The pool of Siloam.	I got to wash in the pool of Siloam and it wasn't even part of the tour (amazing what a little “donation” can do).	Close-up of the tunnel of Hezekiah.
The infamous wall. 24 feet high, dividing farmer from land and splitting monasteries.	High-tech graffiti. The URL appears to be bethlehemagetto.blogspot.com but it doesn't work anymore.	Speaking of Bethlehem ...
